Sales Mix
Biblio Files Company is making plans for its next fiscal year, and decides to sell two new types of bookshelves, Basic and Deluxe. The company has compiled the following estimates for the new product offerings.
Type of Bookshelf |
Sales Price per Unit |
Variable Cost per Unit |
Basic | $5.00 | $1.75 |
Deluxe | 9.00 | 8.10 |
The company is interested in determining how many of each type of bookshelf would have to be sold in order to break even. If we think of the Basic and Deluxe products as components of one overall enterprise product called “Combined,” the unit contribution margin for the Combined product would be $2.31. Fixed costs for the upcoming year are estimated at $328,020. Recall that the totals of all the sales mix percents must be 100%. Determine the amounts to complete the following table.
Type of Bookshelf | Percent of Sales Mix | Break-Even Sales in Units | Break-Even Sales in Dollars |
Basic | % | $ | |
Deluxe | % | $ |

Weighted average contribution Margin = Contribution Margin from product 1*Weight of Product 1 + Contribution Margin from Product 2*Weight of Product 2 | |||
Let the weight of Basic be x | |||
2.31 = 3.25*x + 0.9*(1-x) | |||
2.31 = 3.25x + 0.9 - 0.9x | |||
x = 0.6 i.e. 60% | |||
Hence, weight of basic = 60%, Deluxe = 40% | |||
Overall Break even sales In units = Fixed costs/Weighted average CM per unit | |||
