Sales mix, three products. The Kenosha Company has three product lines of beer mugs—A, B, and C—with contribution margins of $5, $4, and $3, respectively. The president foresees sales of 175,000 units in the coming period, consisting of 25,000 units of A, 100,000 units of B, and 50,000 units of C. The company’s fixed costs for the period are $351,000.

Required:

1. What is the company’s breakeven point in units, assuming that the given sales mix is maintained?

2. If the sales mix is maintained, what is the total contribution margin when 175,000 units are sold? What is the operating income?

3. What would operating income be if the company sold 25,000 units of A, 75,000 units of B, and 75,000 units of C? What is the new breakeven point in units if these relationships persist in the next period?

4. Comparing the breakeven points in requirements 1 and 3, is it always better for a company to choose the sales mix that yields the lower breakeven point? Explain

At a student café, there are equal numbers of two types of customers with the following values. the café owner cannot distinguish between the two types of students because many students without early classes arrive early anyway (i.e., she cannot price-discriminate). students with early classes students without early classes coffee 70 60 banana 51 101 the marginal cost of coffee is 10 and the marginal cost of a banana is 40. the café owner is considering three pricing strategies: 1. mixed bundling: price bundle of coffee and a banana for 161, or just a coffee for 70. 2. price separately: offer coffee at 60, price a banana at 101. 3. bundle only: coffee and a banana for 121. do not offer goods separately. assume that if the price of an item or bundle is no more than exactly equal to a student's willingness to pay, then the student will purchase the item or bundle. for simplicity, assume there is just one student with an early class, and one student without an early class. price strategy revenue from pricing strategy cost from pricing strategy profit from pricing strategy 1. mixed bundling $ $ $ 2. price separately $ $ $ 3. bundle only $ $ $ pricing strategy yields the highest profit for the café owner.
