Break Even Point and Total Contribution algebra problem for this accounting/business management scenario.?
Total contribution per overall sales dollar is equal to the Sales prices less the variable costs





1)


Flats: (12-6)/12


Golf: (20-12)/20


Dress: (24-6)/24


The sales mix is 20/10/70.


So: [20%*(5/12) + 10%(8/20) + 70%(18/24)] = 64.833%








2) Break even is when the contribution equals the fixed costs. We don%26#039;t know what the fixed costs are, so I can%26#039;t answer this question.
