Required:

1. Determine the breakeven point in total units for Smith Company, assuming that the sales mix (on the basis of relative sales volume in units) remains constant. Use the weighted-average contribution margin approach.

2. At this breakeven level, how many units of each product must be sold? Due to rounding, the total breakeven units for Requirement 2 may differ slightly than in Requirement 1.

3. Using the Indirect approach, what is the overall breakeven point in sales dollars? Use the breakeven units computed in Requirement 1.
