I could be wrong here ( im trying to learn ) but I dont think we have to be ahead 32% of the time for this call to be +EV.

We can win $76.2 and loose $26

Breakeven for this EV caculation is :

(76.2* 0.26 ) - ( 26*0.74) = $0.57

If we win 26% of the times we will show a small profit by calling.

Close, but you've got the pot sizes wrong. $12 already in pot, +$12 from you, +$38 from villian raising you all in = $62, so we're risking $26 to win $62. So we have to win 29.5% of the time to break even.
