Guitars Drumkits
Estimated Sales 6500 guitars 3250 drumkits
Sales Price $650 $1,500
Variable Costs $210 $750
Total Fixed Costs $3,400,000
a) What is the Weighted Average Contribution Margin? (Round to the nearest cent)
a) What would be the breakeven units (In total and per product)
| a) Computation of weighted average contribution margin per unit: | |||
| Particulars | Guitars | Drumkits | Total |
| Selling price per unit | $650.00 | $1,500.00 | |
| Variable cost per unit | $210.00 | $750.00 | |
| Contribution margin per unit | $440.00 | $750.00 | |
| Sales mix | 2.00 | 1.00 | 3.00 |
| Weighted Average Contribution Margin per Unit | $880.00 | $750.00 | $1,630.00 |
| a) Computation of weighted average contribution margin per unit: | |||
| Particulars | Guitars | Drumkits | Total |
| Selling price per unit | 650 | 1500 | |
| Variable cost per unit | 210 | 750 | |
| Contribution margin per unit | =650-210 | =1500-750 | |
| Sales mix | =6500/3250 | =3250/3250 | =2+1 |
| Weighted Average Contribution Margin per Unit | =440*2 | =750*1 | =880+750 |
b) Computation of Breakeven Point in Units in Total:
Breakeven Point in Units in Total = Fixed Cost/Weighted Average Contribution Margin per Unit
= $3,400,000/$1,630
= 2,085.89 or 2,086 units
Computation of Breakeven Point in Units per Product:
Guitars = 2,086*2/3 = 1,390.59 or 1,391 units
Drumkits = 2,086*1/3 = 695.30 or 695 units
