1. Determine the sales mix based on unit sales for each product. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 25%.)

2. Using the annual expected sales for these products, determine the weighted-average unit contribution margin for these three products. (Round answer to two decimal places, e.g. 5.25.)

3. Assuming the sales mix remains the same, what is the break-even point in units for these products? (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,520.)
