Break even analysis | Chapter 5

MMuhammad7y ago
I was studying multi product profit volume graph when I came across the term "constant standard mix". What does it generally imply?? Context: either you sell products according to C/S ratios or constantly standard mix. So you get two lines on graph with different breakeven points.

Constant/ standard sales mix is the relative proportions in which a company's products are sold. This is a simplification that is necessary to calculate multi product breakeven. For example, If you assume standard sales mix is going to be 9 yellow widgets and 1 red widget. This has a sales mix of 9:1 ... you can assume for every 10 widgets you sell - there will be 9 yellow and 1 red ... so for 100 widgets you will have 90 yellow 10 red. It can also be stated as a percentage - eg 90% yellow widgets and 10% red! Hope that helps. Cath
