Please see problem below. I have found unit variable cost, contribution margin, etc but I cannot figure out the blanks under sales mix and package contribution margin in $. I cannot figure out the remaining 5 values.

Suppose that Head-First Company now sells both bicycle helmets and motorcycle helmets. The bicycle helmets are priced at $77 and have variable costs of $45 each. The motorcycle helmets are priced at $230 and have variable costs of $135 each. Total fixed cost for Head-First as a whole equals $66,500 (includes all fixed factory overhead and fixed selling and administrative expense). Next year, Head-First expects to sell 5,200 bicycle helmets and 2,080 motorcycle helmets.

Required:

1.Form a package of bicycle and motorcycle helmets based on the sales mix expected for the coming year.

2.Calculate the break-even point in units for bicycle helmets and for motorcycle helmets.

Product Price Unit Variable Cost Unit CM Salesmix package CM

Bicycle helmet $77 $ 45 $32 ??? $??????

Motorcycle helmet $230 $135 $95 ??? $??????

Package total $????

Break-Even Bicycle Helmets= 950units

Break-Even Motorcycle Helmets= 380units
