A. Determine the composite sales price, variable cost, and contribution margin for each product. The total of the three composite amounts for contribution margin will be used to determine the amount of break-even units (using the total fixed costs). Once the break-even units are determined, use that amount times the composite variable cost to determine the total variable costs.

B. Use the break-even units determined in Part A and the corresponding ratio for each product to determine the total number of units for each product.

C. Use the break-even units for each product times the corresponding sales price to determine the sales dollars amount for each product.

D. Using an income statement format, prove that this is the break-even point. If an amount is zero, enter "0".
