The following information is available: Product Table Chair Variable cost per unit ($) 120 16 Contribution sales ratio 0.4 0.6 Annual fixed costs are $100,000. What is the break-even point in sales revenue (to the nearest hundred dollars)?

Method 1 ( BPP book) BEP in sales rev. = FC ÷ weighted avg C/S ratio = 100,000 ÷ [(0.4 x 1) + (0.6 x 4) ÷ (1 + 4) = $ 178,571.43

The correct method is the method that I show in my free lectures on multi-product CVP analysis.
