A company expects to sell 30,000 ball hats at $35 each. The estimated variable cost of each hat is $12.50, and the fixed costs are estimated to be $450,000. Calculate the contribution margin per unit and the break-even point in units and revenue.

Contribution Margin

A financial metric that represents the difference between the sales revenue of a product and the variable costs associated with producing that product.

Break-Even Point

The financial position at which total revenues equal total costs and expenses, with no net profit or loss, often used to analyze the viability of a business or project.

Variable Cost

Costs that change in proportion to the level of goods or services that a business produces, as opposed to fixed costs which remain constant regardless of production volume.
