    Calculate units sold + variable expenses Managerial Accounting
    I am really stuck and need help with steps:

    Given :
    units sold = x
    Sales = $350,000
    Variable expenses = x
    fixed expenses = $162,000
    net op inc (loss) = (22,000)
    Contribution Margin Per Unit = $15

    Find variable expenses and units sold

    my work: I don't really know how to solve since the unit sales are unknown, and I tried 350,000 / x but I would have to set this equal to x and that won't make sense.

    There is such a thing as over thinking a problem As in your other question start by calculating the contribution margin then divide by the contribution margin per unit
