Answer:

Lawnmowers= 45,726

Weed-trimmers= 114,314

Chainsaws= 68,589

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales Mix - Unit Contribution Margin

Lawnmowers 20 % $34

Weed-trimmers 50 % $24

Chainsaws 30 % $37

Yard total has fixed cost of $6,836,000

Based on the weighted average sales participation and the unit contribution margin, we can calculate the weighted average contribution margin for the whole company. We need it to calculate the break-even point in units.

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / (weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)

Weighted average contribution margin= sales participation per product* unitary contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.20*34) + (0.5*24) + (0.3*37)= 29.9

Break-even point (units)= 6,836,000/ 29.9= 228,629 units

Now, we can calculate the required units for each product:

Lawnmowers= 0.20*228,629= 45,726

Weed-trimmers= 0.50*228,629= 114,314

Chainsaws= 0.3*228,629= 68,589

Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% a

Sonja [21]

Answer:

D) CM per unit: Increases

CM ratio: No change

BE in units: Decreases

Explanation:

Let us suppose that

In the first case

The selling price per unit is $100

And, the variable cost per unit is $50

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $100 - $50

= $50

The CM ratio is

= $50 ÷ $100

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $50

= 2,000 units

Now if the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10%

So,

The selling price per unit is $100 × 1.10 = $110

And, the variable cost per unit is $50 × 1.10 = $55

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $110 - $55

= $55

The CM ratio is

= $55 ÷ $110

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $55

= 1,818 units

Hence, the last option is correct

then impact of risky behaviour on one's well-being by referring to social,emotional,physical and spiritual

maria [59]

Spiritually, risky behavior can truly take a toll. If you are religious, your actions won’t be in line with your beliefs (most likely). There is a trickle down effect from there. Lots of times, risky behavior makes a person feel paranoid because a person is doing things s/he feels is wrong. All of that takes a toll on a person physically. When you compromise yourself, you will tend to be on an emotional roller coaster. Not a great way to live
