Solutions

Expert Solution

Particulars Baubles Trinkets
Sale price per unit (15000/15000) (15000/7500)
Sale price per unit 1 2
Variable Cost per unit (6750/15000) (3750/7500)
Variable Cost per unit 0.45 0.5
Ratio of Sales                15,000 : 7500
Ratio of Sales                           2 : 1
Let the break even sales quantity for trinkets be 'X'
Therefore, break even sales quantity for baubles be '2X'
Fixed Cost = (3300+9570)
Fixed Cost = 12870
Fixed Cost/(Sales - Variable Cost) = 1
12870/((2X*1+X*2)-(2X*.45+X*.5)) = 1
12870/(4X-1.4X) = 1
12870/2.6X = 1
X = 4950
Baubles Trinkets
Break even sales quantity 2X X
Break even sales quantity to be sold 9900 4950
Checking for Answer
Sales 9900 9900
Variable Cost 4455 2475
Contribution 5445 7425
Fixed Cost 3300 9570
Profit/Loss 2145 -2145
Total Profit = 0
