Toy craft produces toy alligators and toy dolphins. Fixed costs are Rs1,290,000 per year. Sales revenue and variable costs per unit are as follow:
Suppose the company currently sells 140,000 alligators per year and 60,000 dolphins per year (Sales Mix Percentage 14:6). Assuming the sales mix stays constant, answer the following question. |
What is the total number of units of all toys (including dolphins and alligators) for break even points? |
30,000 70,000 1,00,000 1,30,000 |
1,00,000 |
Weighted Average Contribution Margin= Total Contribution/ Total Units 25,80,000/2,00,000=Rs 12.90 Break Even Point= Fixed Cost/Weighted Average Contribution =12,90,000/12.90=1,00,000 Units Allocating total units to each products based on Expected Units Proportion=14:6 Alligators to be produced for breakeven= 1,00,000*14/20=70,000 Units Dolphins to be produced for breakeven=1,00,000*6/20=30,000 Units So toy crafts has to produce 70,000 toy alligators and 30,000 toy dolphins for breakeven. |
