Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Basic models Deluxe models

Sales price $44 $54

Variable costs $25 $25

Contribution margin $9 $29

×

Sales mix 1 3

Total contribution margin $9 $87

Contribution margin per unit = $9 + $87 = $96

Weighted contribution margin= Total contribution margin / Units

= $96 / $4

= $24

Break even point = Total fixed costs / Weighted contribution margin

Break even point = $1,441 / $24

Break even point = 60 units

•Basic units = 60 × 63.33% = 38 units of basic

•Deluxe units = 60 × 43.33% = 26 units of Deluxe units
