Answer:

Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe

Explanation:

                                                  Standard       Deluxe        Total

Sales price per unit                      $45                $65

Less: Variable cost                      ($35)              ($45)

Contribution Margin per  unit       $10                $20

Sales Mix units  (A)                        $3                  $2                $5

Contribution margin                      $30                $40             $70

Weighted average Contribution                                              $14    

per unit C= B/A

Appointment of fixed cost between standard and deluxe

Total Fixed cost = 14,700

Break even point = Fixed cost / Weighted average Contribution  per unit

= 14,700 / 14

= 1,050

Apportionment of Break even point sales between Standard and deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)

Standard = 1,050 * 3/5 = 630

Deluxe = 1,050 * 2/3 = 420

Unit to be sold to get desired profit = Fixed cost + Desired profit / Weighted average Contribution per unit

= (14,700 + 10,500) / 14

= 1,800

Apportionment of Units to be sold to get desired profit between Standard and Deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)

Standard = 1,800 * 3/5 = 1,080

Deluxe = 1,800 * 2/5 = 720

To reach target operating income, Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe

Kazeer [188]

Explanation:

Number of shares (if bonds are converted) = par value/conversion price = 1,000/33.33 = 30 shares

Current value of 30 shares = 30*current share price = 30*33.10 = $993.10
