APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Calculate the break-even point in sales dollars for Starr Computing

Further analysis of Starr Computing’s fixed costs revealed that the company actually faces annual fixed overhead costs of $9,800 and annual fixed selling and administrative costs of $4,200. Variable cost estimates are correct: direct materials cost, $8.00 per unit; direct labor costs, $10.00 per unit; and variable overhead costs, $2.00 per unit. At this time, the selling price of $40 will not change. Complete the following formulas for the revised fixed costs. Enter the ratio as a percentage.
