Explanation / Answer

Requirement 1.

Fixed costs +Target Profit)/CM in Units = Required Hours billed

Fixed cost = $3900

Contribution margin = $120-$60 = $60

Number of hour required to rech BEP = $3900 + 0 / $60 = 65 Hours

Requirement 2.

Number of hour required to earn targeted proit = Fixed costs +Target Profit)/CM in Units

= $3900 +$4,500 / $60 = 140 Hours

Requirement 3..

IF fixed cost is reduces to $3190 and VC increases to $62 , CM will change to $58 ($120-62)

Therefore the new BEP hours will be

= $3190 + 0 / $58 = 55 Hours
