Sheridan Company has two divisions; Sporting Goods and Sports Gear. The sales mix is 65% for Sporting Goods and 35% for Sports Gear. Sheridan incurs $7215000 in fixed costs. The contribution margin ratio for Sporting Goods is 30%, while for Sports Gear it is 50%. The break-even point in dollars is

a. $18037500.
b. $19500000.
c. $2669550.
d. $16779070.

b. $19500000.

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of sales on which business has no profit no loss situation. The business only covers the variable and fixed cost at this point.

Total Contribution can be determined by calculating adding estimated contribution of each division.

Total Contribution ratio = (65% x 30%) + (35% x 50%) = 19.5% + 17.5% = 37%

Fixed cost = $7,215,000

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $7,215,000 / 37% = $19,500,000

The break even in dollars is $19500000 and option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The break even point in dollars is the amount of revenue where total revenue equals total cost. It is the amount of revenue which produces no profit or no loss. The break even in dollars is calculated by dividing the fixed cost by the weighted average contribution margin ratio.

Break even in dollars = Fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Weighted average contribution margin ratio is the contribution margin ratio of each products multiplied by the products weight in the sales mix.

Weighted average contribution margin ratio = Weight in sales mix of Product A * contribution margin ratio of product A + Weight in sales mix of Product B * Contribution margin ratio of Product B

Weighted average contribution margin ratio = 0.65 * 0.3 + 0.35 * 0.5  = 0.37

Break even in dollars = 7215000 / 0.37

Break even in dollars = $19500000

explanation:

a gas is not used in hydraulic machines as the fluid because gas is easily compressible and so if a gas is used, the energy would mostly go into compressing a gas. therefore a liquid is used in hydraulic machines as the fluid.

steering wheels are always situated on the left side of the car.

always drive on the right side of the road.

white lines separate lanes of traffic traveling the same direction.

hashed or broken lines means you may change lanes when it is safe.

solid white lines mean stay in your lane.

yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposing directions.

hashed or broken yellow lines mean you can carefully pass, paying attention to oncoming traffic.

never cross a solid yellow line (or double yellow line).

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.

you must always yield to pedestrians.

come to a complete stop whenever you see pedestrians trying to cross the street.

never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights. wait until the lights have stopped.

be aware of bicyclists. often they share the road with cars and are supposed to also follow general traffic laws.

be particularly careful about driving in cities with bike lanes -- always check before turning that a bike is not coming.

it is mandatory to pull over or stop at an intersection to allow an emergency vehicle to pass you if you see one traveling with lights flashing and/or a siren running.

do not overuse your car horn. horns are used almost exclusively for emergency situations or for when you feel unsafe.
