Total annual fixed costs are $5,000,000. Assume the sales mix remains the same at all levels of sales. Required: a) Calculate the weighted average unit contribution margin, assuming a constant sales mix. b) How many units of each printer must be sold to break even? c) i) Explain what is margin of safety ii) Calculate in sales units the margin of safety for IPM, assuming projected sales are 25,000 units?

Alpha Beta Gamma Total Selling price per unit $250 $400 $1 500 Variable cost per unit $80 $200 $800 Expected unit sales (annual) 12,000 6,000 2,000 20,000 Sales mix 50 percent | 40 percent 10 percent | 100 percent
