Explanation / Answer

Total variable costs=(2.32+1.16+0.3)=$3.78

Contribution margin=Sales-Variable costs

=(15.01-3.78)=$11.23

1.Breakeven=Fixed cost/Contribution margin

=(4941.2/11.23)=440 cakes

=(440*15.01)=$6604.40

2.MOS=Total sales-Breakeven sales

=(530-440)=90 cakes

=(90*15.01)=$1351(Approx)

3.TARGET Contribution margin=Fixed cost+Target profits

(4941.2+1100)=$6041.2

hence units to be sold=(6041.2/11.23)=537.95 cakes(or 538 cakes approx).
