Breakeven Analysis

Options
I have tried to compute the breakeven sales by taking the fixed costs/contribution margin

The gross profit is the sales - variable costs. I computed the Contribution margin by taking the gross profit/sales x 100

I have attached my sample data as it is giving me an incorrect breakeven sales. However If I use Goal Seek, the Sales is 436000, which we then show a zero Net profit

It would be appreciated if someone could check my formula and advise

    resolved my problem in computing the estimated Net Profit using data tables.

    My Breakeven was 100% but I was getting an incorrect answer when computing forecasted Net Profit based on increased sales data when using a data table.

    My Contribution margin was 27.1111% (GP %)

    To resolve the problem regarding the incorrect forecasted net profit , I set my variable costs to be Sales * (1-0.271111) and now I get correct forecasted net profit
