Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the weighted average contribution margin ratio is shown below:
The Contribution margin ratio is
= (Combined contribution ) ÷ (Sales)
= ($60,000 + $180,000) ÷ ($1,000,000)
= ($240,000) ÷ ($1,000,000)
= 0.24
b. Now the break even point in dollars is
= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin ratio
= $300,000 ÷ 0.24
= $1,250,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
