 a.Contribution margin per lamp = $30 - $22 = $8

b.N = Breakeven point in lamps
$30N - $22N - $9,600 = 0
$8N - $9,600 = 0
N = $9,600/$8 = 1,200 lamps

c.N = Target sales in lamps
$30N - $22N - $9,600 - $8,000 = 0
$8N - $17,600 = 0
N = $17,600/$8 = 2,200 lamps

d.Margin of safety= Sales - Breakeven sales
= ($30.00  1,500) - $36,000 = $9,000
