b. Contribution margin ratio %  = Contribution / Selling Price × 100

                                                   = ($300-$240) / $300 × 100

                                                  = 20%

c. Break-even point units  = Fixed Cost / Contribution per Unit

                                          = 504,000/($300-$240)

                                           = 8,400

d. Break-even sales dollars = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin per unit

                                             = $504,000/ 0.2

                                             = $2,520,000
