To calculate the breakeven point, you need to determine the contribution margin per unit. Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit Selling price per unit = €400 Variable cost per unit = Direct Labour + Direct Material + Variable Production Overhead Variable cost per unit = €60 + €120 + €60 = €240 Contribution margin per unit = €400 - €240 = €160 Now, divide the total fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit to find the breakeven point: Breakeven point (in units) = Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per unit Total Fixed Costs = Fixed Production Costs + Fixed Selling and Distribution Costs Total Fixed Costs = €900,000 + €1,000,000 = €1,900,000 Breakeven point (in units) = €1,900,000 / €160 = 11875 mattresses So, the answer is option b. 11875 mattresses.
