Answer:

sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

Explanation:

gross profit = net income + fixed costs = $35,280 + $68,040 = $103,320

COGS = total sales - gross profit = $287,000 - $103,320 = $183,680

contribution margin ratio = $103,320 / $287,000 = 36%

break even point in $ = $68,040 / 36% = $189,000

sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even
