Bobby Company has fixed costs of $160,000. The unit selling price, variable cost per unit, and contribution margin per unit for
V125BC [204]

Answer:

1,500 units; 1,000 units

Explanation:

Break Even Point (in units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost = $160,000

Sales Mix = 60% of X + 40% of Y

                = 0.6X + 0.4Y

So,

Contribution Margin of the Mix:

= (60% × contribution margin of X) + (40% × contribution margin of Y )

Contribution Margin of the Mix per unit:

= (60% × 80) + (40% × 40)

= 48 + 16

= $64

Break Even Point (in units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit  

                                            = 160,000 ÷ 64

                                            = 2,500 unit

At the Level of break even :

Unit of X at break-even:

= 60% of 2,500

= 1,500 units

Unit of Y at break-even:

= 40% of 2,500

= 1,000 units
