Answer 1

Total contribution margin = $3,000, standard models sold at break even=800, deluxe models sold at break even=400, superior models sold at break even=100

Explanation:

1.Using sales mix stated in the fact from Figure to form a package what is the total contribution margin?

total contribution margin  =($150 multiply 8) plus ($200 multiply 4) plus ($1,000 multiply 1)  = $3,000

2.Refer to Figure, What is the number of standard models sold at break even.

break even units  =Fixed cost divide contribution margin per package

= $300,000 divide $3000  =100 package  standard models sold at break even=100 package multiply 8 = 800

2.Refer to Figure, What is the number of deluxe models sold at break even.

break even units

=Fixed cost divide contribution margin per package  = $300,000 divide $3000

=100 package  deluxe models sold at break even = 100 package multiply 4
