Answer:
The package of shoes and carryalls based on the sales mix expected for the coming year is:
= 4:1
Explanation:
a) This means for every 4 shoes, there is 1 carryall.
b) Data:
Company-wide Fixed costs = $91,500
Unit price of a pair of shoes = $60
The variable cost = $21
This gives a contribution to the fixed cost = $39 ($60 - $21) per unit
Unit price of carryalls = $36
The variable of carryalls = $9
This gives a contribution to the fixed cost = $27 ($36 - $9) per unit
Estimated quantity of pairs of shoes to be sold next year = 3,500
Estimated quantity of carryalls to be sold next year = 875
The ratio of shoes to carryalls = 3,500:875
= 3,500/875
= 4:1
The sales mix for Chillmax Company refers to the proportion of the company's total sales for each type of product sold (pairs of shoes and carryalls).
