Question

Adams Company manufactures two products. The budgeted per-unit contribution margin for each product follows: Super Supreme Sales price $ 95 $ 124 Variable cost per unit (58 ) (74 ) Contribution margin per unit $ 37 $ 50 Adams expects to incur annual fixed costs of $227,880. The relative sales mix of the products is 60 percent for Super and 40 percent for Supreme. Required Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Adams must sell to break even. How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even

Answer 1

Answer:

Expected contribution as per sales mix = $37*0.60 + $50*0.40

= $22.20 + $20

= $42.20 per unit

Total number of products in total at break even point = Total fixed cost / Contribution per unit

= $227,880 / $42.20 per unit

= 5,400 units

How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even?

According to sales mix:

Super = 5,400 * 60% = 3,240 units

Supreme = 5,400 * 40% = 2,160 units.
