,Answer: a. 9,450 units

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the weighted average contribution margin for both products.

Product A

Weighted average contribution margin = Contribution margin * Units sold / Total units sold

= 34 * 7,600 / (7,600 + 2,400)

= $25.84

Product B

= 59 * 2,400 / 10,000

= $14.16

Breakeven point in units = Fixed costs/ (Weighted average contribution margin of both A and B)

= 378,000 / (25.84 + 14.16)

= 9,450 units
