Assume that Bisque Co. sold 12,000 units of Product A and 18,000 units of Product B in the last year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $10 and $20, respectively. Bisque has fixed costs of $420,000. The break-even point in units is
Bisque Co.'s break-even point in units is 26,250.
Given:
Units sold of Product A = 12,000 units
Units sold of Product B = 18,000 units
Sales mix = 12,000:18,000
= 2:3
Contribution margin per unit of Product A = $10
Contribution margin per unit of Product B = $20
Fixed cost = $420,000
Weighted average contribution margin per unit calculation:
Now, substitute the values in break-even formula:
Bisque Co.'s break-even point in units is 26,250.
To break-even, 10,500 units (26,250*(2/5)) of Product A and 15,750 units (26,250*(3/5)) of Product B should be sold.
