Balbuena Corporation produces and sells two products

Accounting Jan 19, 2021

Balbuena Corporation produces and sells two products. Data concerning those products for the most recent month appear below:

                                        Product K87W            Product I57P

Sales Revenues                $17,000                     $19,000

Total Variable Costs        $7,650                        $9,270

The fixed expenses of the entire company were $15,630.

1)         Compute the total breakeven point in dollars for the overall company.

Assume the sales mix were to shift toward Product K87W (i.e., $19,000 for Product K87W and $17,000 for Product I57P) with no other change. What is the breakeven point in dollars for Product K87W?

Expert Solution

Overall Contribution Margin Ratio = Total Contribution Margin / Total Sales

Overall Contribution Margin Ratio = 19,080 / 36,000

Overall Contribution Margin Ratio = 0.53

 

Break-even Point in Dollars for Overall Company = Fixed Costs / Overall Contribution Margin Ratio

Break-even Point in Dollars for Overall Company = 15,630 / 0.53

Break-even Point in Dollars for Overall Company = 29,490.57

 

b. The breakeven point decreases as Product B64P has high contribution margin compared to Product 100E.
