Instructions: Assume that the sales mix is maintained.
- What is the company's break-even point in terms of the number of units of each product given the sales mix above?
- How many units of each product should be sold to earn the target income?
- If investment costs were $2,400,000 to open the company & the company decided to retain 40% of net income to recover the initial investment costs, how many units of each product should be sold to recover the investment costs fully? Presume that Rowling will earn the target income every year.
