Explanation / Answer

WeightedContribution margin=Respective Contribution margin*Respective Sales mix

=(29*0.2)+(25*0.5)+(37*0.3)=$29.4

Hence total breakeven=Fixed cost/Weighted Contribution margin

=(4321800/29.4)=147000 units

Lawnmowers(147000*0.2) 29400 units Weed-trimmers(147000*0.5) 73500 units Chainsaws(147000*0.3) 44100 units.
