Answer:

$ 128,571

Explanation:

Break-even in sales is the amount of sales in Dollars that would produce a zero profit

Break-even sales = General fixed cost/Weighted average contribution sales

Contribution from a mix = (25  ×1750) + (55 × 500)  + (105  × 250)= 97500

Revenue from a mix=  (55 ×  1750)  +  (130    ×500 )  + (255    ×250)= 225000

Weighted average contribution ratio =97500/225,000× 100

Break-even Dollar sales = 55,000/42.8%

                                        =$ 128,571.43
