Expert Solution

	product mix percentage	Contribution margin per unit	weighted average contribution margin
Chicken	36%	$3.40 - $1.70 = $1.70	$1.70 * 36% = $0.61
Fish	64%	$5.50 - $2.75 = $2.75	$2.75 * 64% = $1.76
Weighted average contribution margin			$ 2.37

Total Break even sales in units = Fixed costs / Contribution margin

Total Break even sales in units = $124,000 / $2.37

Total Break even sales in units = 52,320.68

	Sales Mix	Total Break even sales in units	Break-even units
Chicken	36%	52,320.68	18,835
Fish	64%	52,320.68	33,485
