The first time ever corporation sells two products with a sales mix of 4:1 respectively for product a and b. what is the breakeven point in sales considering this additional information?

Sagot :

The correct answer is Sales of [tex]$40,000[/tex] for A, [tex]$20,000[/tex] for B.

Sales:

Lets consider 1 batch of production to contain [tex]4[/tex] units of A and [tex]1[/tex] unit B so as to maintain the product mix.

We will now first calculate the contribution from [tex]1[/tex] batch of production.

Contribution = Selling Price - Variable Cost

                      A  and   B

Selling Price  [tex]50[/tex] and [tex]100[/tex]

Variable Cost [tex]20[/tex] and [tex]40[/tex]

Contribution [tex]30[/tex] and [tex]60[/tex]

Contribution per batch = Contribution of A * 4 + Contribution of B * 1 = [tex]30*4 + 60*1 = 180[/tex]

Total Fixed Cost = [tex]36000[/tex]

We know that Breakeven units = Total fixed cost / contribution per unit

So, Breakeven no. of batches [tex]= 36000 / 180 = 200[/tex] batches

Breakeven Sales of A = Breakeven no. of batches * units per batch * selling price per unit

[tex]= 200 * 4 * 50 = 40000[/tex]

Breakeven Sales of B = Breakeven no. of batches * units per batch * selling price per unit

[tex]= 200 * 1 * 100 = 20000[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B - Sales of [tex]$40,000[/tex] for A, [tex]$20,000[/tex] for B.
