Nate Carter admired his wife's success at selling scarves at local crafts shows, so he decided to make two types of plant stands to sell at the shows. Nate makes twig stands out of downed wood from his backyard and the yards of his neighbors, so his variable cost is minimal (wood screws, glue, and so forth).

The twig stands are more popular, so Nate sells four twig stands for every one oak stand. Julie charges her husband $400 to share her booth at the craft shows (after all, she has paid the entrance fees). How many of each plant stand does Nate need to sell to breakeven? Will this affect the number of scarves Julie needs to sell to breakeven? Explain. Determine how many of each plant stand Nate needs to sell to breakeven. Begin by computing the weighted-average contribution margin per unit. First identify the formula labels, then complete the calculations step by step. Data table
