product mix percentage Contribution margin per unit weighted average contribution margin
Chicken 36% $3.40 - $1.70 = $1.70 $1.70 * 36% = $0.61
Fish 64% $5.50 - $2.75 = $2.75 $2.75 * 64% = $1.76
Weighted average contribution margin $                              2.37
Total Break even sales in units = Fixed costs / Contribution margin
Total Break even sales in units = $124,000 / $2.37
Total Break even sales in units = 52,320.68
Sales Mix Total Break even sales in units Break-even units
Chicken 36%                52,320.68                            18,835
Fish 64%                52,320.68                            33,485
