2000 units, eh? I hope the company has a big warehouse to store all those products. Maybe they should consider selling in bulk - that would really shake things up!

You're right, selling in bulk could potentially change the sales mix ratio. It's something to consider for sure.

But wouldn't selling in bulk affect the sales mix ratio of 3:2?

That's a good point! Selling in bulk could definitely help with storage space.

2000 units? That's nothing! I bet I could break even on a lemonade stand with that kind of volume.

2000 units, huh? I wonder if the exam will throw in a curveball and ask for the breakeven point in dollars instead. Either way, I'm feeling confident about this one.

I'm not sure, I think we need to consider the fixed costs as well to calculate the breakeven point accurately.

I agree with Bulah, because product Y has a lower contribution per unit compared to product X.

2000 units? Piece of cake! Although, I hope the exam doesn't ask me to calculate the breakeven point for product X - that would be a real headache.

The breakeven point for product X would be 3800 units per period. So, you just need to sell more than that to start making a profit.

Ah, I see. The fixed costs and the relative contribution per unit of each product are the key factors here. Makes sense to me!

This seems straightforward. The breakeven point for product Y should be 2000 units, given the contribution per unit and the sales mix.
