gas grill, and the specialty smoker. In the coming year, Texas-Q expects to sell 20,000 portable grills, 50,000 stationary grills, and 5,000 smokers. Information on the three models is as follows:
Portable Stationary Smokers
Price $90 $200 $250
Variable cost per unit 45 130 140
Total fixed cost is $2,128,500.
Required:

Answer:

1.

<u>Sales mix</u>

Portable grills = 20000/75000 = 4/15 or 26.67%

Stationary grills = 50000/75000 = 2/3 or 66.67%

Smokers = 5000/75000 = 1/15 or 6.67%

2.

<u>Break even in units</u>

Overall = 2128500 / 66   = 32250 units

Portable = 32250 * 4/15 = 8600

Stationary = 32250 * 2/3 = 21500

Smokers = 32250 * 1/15 = 2150

Explanation:

1.

The sales mix is the proportion of sales in units that each product holds in the in relation to the total overall sales in units of all products. The sales mix is calculated as follows,

Sales mix proportion of Product A = Sales in units Product A/Total number of sales in units of all products

The total number of sales in units of all products is,

Total sales in units = 20000 + 50000 + 5000 = 75000 units

<u />

<u>Sales mix</u>

Portable grills = 20000/75000 = 4/15 or 26.67%

Stationary grills = 50000/75000 = 2/3 or 66.67%

Smokers = 5000/75000 = 1/15 or 6.67%

2.

We will compute the overall break even point in units in then divide it according to the sales mix to calculate the break even in units of each product.

To calculate the overall break even in units, we need to determine the weighted average contribution per unit.

Weighted average contribution per unit = 4/15 * (90 - 45)  +  2/3 * (200 - 130)  +  1/15 * (250 - 140)

Weighted average contribution per unit = 66

<u />

<u>Break even in units</u>

Overall = 2128500 / 66   = 32250 units

Portable = 32250 * 4/15 = 8600

Stationary = 32250 * 2/3 = 21500

Smokers = 32250 * 1/15 = 2150

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The cheapest alternative is: $300 a month immediately.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The dorm cost was $5000 for the two semesters

Jay had already paid a month after he moved into the dorm.

Jay estimates his food cost per month is $500 if he lives in the dorm and $450 if he lives in an apartment.

His share of the apartment rent and utilities will be $390 per month.

Each semester is 4.5 months long.

Alternative A:

One student offered to move in immediately and to pay Jay $300 per month for the eight remaining months of the school year.

Income= 300*8= 2400

Apartment rent= (3120)

Food= (3600)

Total= (4320)

Alternative B:

A second student offered to move in the second semester and pay $2500 to Jay.

Income= 2500

Dorm rent= (5000/9)*3.5= (1944)

Apartment rent= (1755)

Dorm food= 500*3.5= (1750)

Apartment food= (2025)

Total= (4974)

Alternative C:

Stay in the dorms

Dorm rent= (4444.44)

Dorm Food= (4000)

Total= $8444.44

<u>The cheapest alternative is A.</u>
