Boards 4 Bucks sells 3 different Board Games: MakinMoney (MM), UpNDown (UD), ChexNBalances (CB)
Last year Boards4Bucks sold 36,000 MM games, 63,000 UD games, and 81,000 CB games.
MM sells for $22 with a variable cost of $8
UD sells for $28 with a variable cost of $6
CB sells for $35 with a variable cost of $11
Fixed Costs for Boards4Bucks are $3,894,562.
The company anticipates that the sales mix proportions will remain the same. For the next year, how many board games of each title must Boards 4 Bucks sell to break even?
Explanation / Answer
Break-even sales = Fixed cost / contribution per unit
for MM =$3,894,562 / $14 = $278,183
for UD = $ 3,894,562 / $22 = $177,026
for CB = $3,894,562 / $24 = $162,273
contribution per unit = selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit.
