A Company manufactures and sells two products: A and B. The following table shows the information relating to these products: A B Total Selling price per unit $20 $40 Variable cost per unit $10 $20 Total Fixed costs $80,000 Required:
If Sales mix is 2 :3 for A and B respectively, calculate the breakeven point in units and in dollars for each of the two products.

Break Even Point in Units = Fixed Costs / Weighted Average Contribution per unit
= $80,000 / $16 per unit
= 5,000 Units
Breakeven point in units
Product A = 5000 Units x 2/5 = 2,000 Units
Product B = 5000 Units x 3/5 = 3,000 Units
Breakeven point in Dollars
Product A = 2,000 Units x $20 = $40,000
Product B = 3,000 Units x $40 = $1,20,000
