  1. 500% above budget
  2. 6.67% below budget.
  3. 6.67% above budget
  4. 5.00% below budget.

The 260 actual units sold produced a contribution margin of $650, or $2.50 per unit. Dividing the $420 of fixed costs by $2.50 gives a breakeven point of 168 units. Consequenty, the actual breakeven point is 5% (8 ÷ 160) above the budget.
