Answer:

regular - 32,000

ultra - 64,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the remaining part of this question in the attached image

Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero

Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit

Contribution margin :

Regular = 22 - 8 = 14

Ultra = 25 - 8 = 17

weighted contribution margin = (1/3 x 14) + (2/3 x 17) = 16

Firms breakeven = $1,536,000 / $16 = 96,000

Regular's breakeven = 1/3 x 96,000 = 32,000

Ultra's breakeven = 2/3 x 96,000 = 64,000

A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular the firm sells-example-1
