Handy Home sells windows and doors in the ratio of 7:3 (windows:doors). The selling price of each window is $111 and of each door is $261. The variable cost of a window is $68.00 and of a door is $180.50. Fixed costs are $515,375. Required:
1. Determine the selling price per composite unit.
2. Determine the variable cost per composite unit.
3. Determine the break-even point in composite units.
4. Determine the number of units of each product that will be sold at the breakeven point.

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Handy Home sells windows and doors in the ratio of 7:3 (windows:doors).

Window:

Selling price= $111

Unitary variable cost= $68

Door:

Selling price= $261

Unitary variable cost= $180.5

Fixed costs are $515,375.

1) Selling price per composite unit:

Selling price= 0.7*111 + 0.3*261= $156

2) Composite variable cost:

Variable cost per unit= 0.7*68 + 0.3*180.5= 101.75

3) To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 515,375/ ( 156 - 101.75)

Break-even point in units= 9,500 units

4) Units for each product:

Windows= 0.7*9,500= 6,650

Door= 0.3*9,500= 2,850
