Answer:

$28,000

Explanation:

The computation of the break-even point in dollars amount is shown below:

Break-even point in dollars amount = Fixed expenses Ă· Contribution margin ratio

where,

Fixed expenses is $9,800

And, the contribution margin ratio

= (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) Ă· (Selling price per unit) Ă— 100

= ($28 - $28 Ă— 0.65) Ă· ($28) Ă— 100

= ($28 - $18.2)  ÷ ($28) × 100

= 35%

So, the Break-even point in dollars amount is

= $9,800 Ă· 35%

= $28,000
