Answer:

A) Contribution margin per phone = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit = 100 - (50 + 10) = $40/phone

B) Break even point = Fixed costs/contribution margin per phone = (1250+2500)/40=3750/40 = 93.75 = 94 phones

C) No of phones to earn the target profit = (fixed cost + target profit)/contribution per phone

     = (3750+7500)/40 = 11250/40 = 281.25 = 282 phones
