Answer:

 

Contribution Margin per unit = Sales per unit - VC per unit
  500-350
  150
   
Break even Point(Units) = Fixed Expenses/CM per unit
  6000000/150
  40000
   
Sales - VC - FC = Profit
500X - 350X - 6000000 = 750000
150X = 6750000
X = 45000
Contribution margin gives you that after covering variable expenses , each product will contribute $ 150 towards Fixed Expenses
This is calculated by deducting variable cost per product from the sale price per product.
Breakeven point in units is the number of products that we should produce to cover the variable expense and fixed expenses.
This is calculated by dividing total fixed cost by the contribution margin per unit.
In given case we need to find out number of units of product that we should produce to earn a profit if $ 750,000 ; this we can find out by calculating
number of units using formula for profit. (Sales- VC - FC = Profit)
