Answer:

1,350 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the break-even point in composite units is shown below;

Composition contribution margin per unit is

= ($75 - $35) × 5 + ($95 - $40) × 2

= 310

Now break-even point in composite units is

= Fixed cost ÷ Composition contribution margin per unit

= $418,500 ÷ 310

= 1,350 units
