contribution margin per unit $266,000 $136,000 $272,000
fixed expenses 444,650
operating income $40,400
Break-even point in sales dollars = Fixed expenses = $444,650 = $641,696.73
Overall CM ratio 0.69

Break-even point in unit sales:

Total Fixed expenses = $444,650 = 1,892.13 units
Weighted-average CM per unit
$235.00*
*($266.00 0.50) + ($136.00 0.25) + ($272.00 0.25)

As shown by these data, operating income is budgeted at $40,400 for the month, break-even sales dollars at $641,696.73, and break-even unit sales at 1,892.13.

Assume that actual sales for the month total $705,600 (2,100 units), with the CM ratio and per unit amounts the same as budgeted. Actual fixed expenses are the same as budgeted, $444,650. Actual sales by product are as follows: sinks, $176,400 (525 units); mirrors, $294,000 (1,050 units); and vanities, $235,200 (525 units).
