Accounting Aug 10, 2020

McCoy Brothers manufactures and sells two products, A and Z in the ratio of 5:2. Product A sells for $93; Z sells for $114. Variable costs for product A are $50; for Z $54. Fixed costs are $522,600. Compute the break-even point in composite units.

Expert Solution

Product ratio of A and Z is 5:2

Selling price of A and Z are $93 and $114 respectively

Price per composite unit = (5*93)+(2*114)

Price per composite unit = 465 + 228

Price per composite unit = $693

Variable cost of A and Z are $50 and $54 respectively

Variable cost per composite unit = (5*50)+(2*54)

= 250 + 108

= $358

Fixed cost = $522,600

Contribution margin of composite units = Selling price of composite units - Variable cost per composite units

= 693 - 358

= $335

Break even point in composite units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per composite units

= 522,600 / 335

1,560 units

Break even point in composite units is at 1,560 units.
