Answer:

The Blue Division's break-even sales are closest to  $276,212

Explanation:

Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither profit nor loss.

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin

Where,

Contribution Margin = Contribution ÷ Sales

                                 = $276,190 ÷ $431,000

                                 = 0.64

Therefore,

Break-even sales (dollars) = $177,000 ÷ 0.64

                                            = $276,212
