Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in composite units = 811 units

Explanation:

Number of modal;

5 Youth models

9 Adult models

6 Recreational models

Annual fixed costs total = $6,550,000

Find:

Break-even point in composite units

Computation:

Mixed contribution margin = 5[130] + 9[475] + 6[525]

Mixed contribution margin = 650 + 4275 + 3150

Mixed contribution margin = $8075

Break-even point in composite units = Annual fixed costs total / Mixed contribution margin

Break-even point in composite units = 6,550,000 / 8075

Break-even point in composite units = 811 units
