Respuesta :

Answer: $109726

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the contribution margin. This will be:

= Sales - Variable cost

For Product R10L:

= $21,000 - $10,050.

= $10,950

Product X96N:

= $34,000 - $16,900

= $17,100

Total contribution margin = $10950 + $17100 = $28050

Total sales = $21000 + $34000

= $55000

Contribution Margin Ratio:

= CM / Sales

= 28050/55000

= 0.51

Overall break-even:

= Fixed costs / CMRatio

= $55960/0.51

= 109726
