Explanation / Answer

a. What total monthly sales revenue is required to break even if the relative sales mix is 40 percent for Product 1 and 60 percent for Product 2? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response)


Combined contribution of one product mix =6*40%+3*60% = $4.20

No of product mix to be sold to reach break even = 65000/4.20 = 15476.19 =15477

Product 1 to be sold = 15477*40% = 6190

Product2 to be sold = 15477*60% =9287


Sales revenue = 6190*10 + 9287*10 = $154,770



b. What total monthly sales revenue is required to earn a monthly operating income of $12,000 if the relative sales mix is 25 percent for Product 1 and 75 percent for Product 2? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response)

Combined contribution of one product mix =6*25%+3*75% = $3.75

No of product mix to be sold to reach target profit = (65000+12000)/3.75 = 20533.33 =20534

Product 1 to be sold = 20534*25% = 5133

Product2 to be sold = 20534*75% =15401


Sales revenue = 5133*10 + 15401*10 = $205,340
