Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The selling prices are $1,310 per desk unit and $560 per chair. The variable costs are $810 per desk unit and $310 per chair. Fixed costs are $180,000.
The company sells 3 deks per 2 chairs.
Sales proportion:
Desks= 3/5= 0.6
Chairs= 2/5= 0.4
1) Selling price per composite unit= sales proportion*selling price
Selling price per composite unit= 0.6*1,310 + 0.4*560
Selling price per composite unit= $1,010
2) Variable cost per composite unit= sales proportion*unitary variable cost
Variable cost per composite unit= 0.6*810 + 0.4*310
Variable cost per composite unit= 610
3) Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 180,000/ (1,010 - 610)
Break-even point (units)= 450 units
4) Number of units for each product:
Desks= 0.6*450= 270
Chairs= 0.4*450= 180
