Answer:
The breakeven point in total units is 1,250 consisting of 750 Larges and 500 Smalls
Explanation:
Denote A is the break-even point in unit for Larges;
As every three sales of Larges will follow with two sales Smalls, 2xA/3 will be the break-even point in unit for Smalls.
Margin per unit for Larges = $120 - $80 =$40
Margin per unit for Smalls = $30 - $10 =$20
The breakeven point in total units is the point where the total sales of Larges and Smalls will create a break-even for the Enterpises which means the margin generating will be enough for/equal to fixed cost covering.
From that, We have the formular:
Fixed cost = ( Margin per unit for Larges x Unit of Larges sold at breakeven + Margin per unit for Smalls x Unit of Smalls sold at breakeven) <=> 40,000 = 40 x A + 20 x 2 x A/3 <=> 40,000 = 160 x A/ 3 <=> A = 40,000 x 3 / 160 = 750;
=> Break even point in unit for Larges is 750, Break even point in unit for Smalls is 2x750/3 = 500
=> Total breakeven point in units = 750 + 500 = 1,250.
