    Respected Sir, plz explain this Question’s Answer…..

    A Co makes two products, nail polish and lipsticks.

    Nail polish sales make up 30% of total sales and their variable costs are 45% as a percentage
    of sales value.

    Lipsticks sales are 70% of the total sales and their variable costs are 40% as a percentage of
    sales value.

    Total fixed costs are $400,000 for the company.

    Required:
    What is break-even level of sales revenues for the company?

    Have you watched the free lectures on CVP?

    You can calculate the CS ratios for each of the two products ( A 55% and B 60%).
    So you then calculate the average CS ratio.

    Then, as always, breakeven sales revenue is equal to the fixed overheads divided by the average CS ratio.

    is the average (0.55+0.6)/2 or (0.3*0.55) +(0.7*0.6)

    The second – it is a weighted average.

    Please watch the free lectures because I explain this in the lectures.
