Answer:

A) Lily, must sell a total of 800 plants to break even.

B) If Lily sells 480 units of both A and B she will have a net profit.

D) If Lily’s sales mix changes, her break-even point will stay the same.

Explanation:

break even point = total fixed costs / contribution margin

  • total fixed costs = $24,000
  • average contribution margin = $30 (same for both plants)

break even point in units = $24,000 / $30 = 800 units

current sales mix:

plants A = 800 units x 60% = 480 units

plants B = 800 units x 40% = 320 units
