Answer:

B. BEP in sales dollars

First we must calculate the contribution margin.

CM = Sales – Variable expenses

CM = $7,000,000 – 4,200,000

CM = $2,800,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = CM ÷ Sales

CMR = $2,800,000 ÷ 7,000,000

CMR = 40%

BEP = Total Fixed Assets ÷ CMR

BEP = $2,100,000 ÷ 40%

BEP = $5,250,000 in sales dollars

Cash BEP = same as above accept the non cash expenses would be removed from the fixed assets per the instructor help.

Cash BEP = (TFA – Non Cash expenses) ÷ CMR

Cash BEP = ($2,100,000 – 500,000) ÷ 40%

Cash BEP = $1,600,000 ÷ 40%

Cash BEP = $4,000,000
