Answer 1

Answer:

Break Even Point (in Dollar Sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio

Standard Racket:
Contribution Margin per Unit = Selling Price per Unit – Variable Cost per unit
Standard’s Variable Cost per unit = $21.40 + $2.45 = $23.85
Standard’s Contribution Margin per Unit = $47.70 - $23.85
Standard’s Contribution Margin per Unit = $23.85

Weight of Standard Racket Sale for the month of April = 5,000 / 8,000 = 62.50%

Deluxe Racket:
Contribution Margin per Unit = Selling Price per Unit – Variable Cost per unit
Deluxe’s Variable Cost per unit = $28.10 + $5.50 = $33.60
Deluxe’s Contribution Margin per Unit = $84.00 - $33.60
Deluxe’s Contribution Margin per Unit = $50.40

Weight of Deluxe Racket Sale for the month of April = 3,000 / 8,000 = 37.50%

Weighted Contribution Margin for the month of April = (0.625 * 23.85) + (0.375 * 50.40)
Weighted Contribution Margin for the month of April = 14.90625 + 18.90
Weighted Contribution Margin for the month of April = $33.80625

Weighted Sales = (0.625 * 47.70) + (0.375 * 84.00)
Weighted Sales = 29.8125 + 31.50 = $61.3125

Weighted Contribution Margin Ratio = 33.80625 / 61.3125 * 100
Weighted Contribution Margin Ratio = 0.551376

Break Even Point (in Dollar Sales) = 258,000 / 0.551376
Break Even Point (in Dollar Sales) = $467,920.28
