Following is the information about Eclypso Company's two products: Product X Product Y Unit selling price $10.00 $10.00 Unit variable costs: Manufacturing $ 6.00 $ 7.00 Selling 1.00 1.00 Total variable costs $ 7.00 $ 8.00 Monthly fixed costs are as follows: Manufacturing $ 90,000 Selling and administrative 50,000 Total fixed costs $140,000 What is the total monthly sales volume in units required to break even when the sales mix in units is 80% of Product X and 20% of Product Y?

50,000  units are required to break even

Explanation:

Eclypso Company

                                        Product X        Product Y

Unit selling price               $10.00               $10.00

Less

Unit variable costs:

Manufacturing                     $ 6.00            $ 7.00

Selling                                   1.00                 1.00

Total variable costs              $ 7.00            $ 8.00

Contribution Margin per unit  3                   2          

Monthly fixed costs are as follows:

Manufacturing                               $ 90,000

Selling and administrative             50,000

Total fixed costs                           $140,000

Weighted Contribution Margin per unit =  ($3 *  80% + $ 2 * 20%)= 2.4+ 0.4=              

                                                                                $ 2.8

Combined Break Even Volume = Fixed Costs/ Weighted Contribution Margin Per unit

Combined Break Even Volume = $ 140,000/ 2.8=50,000

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
