Calculating sales mix, break-even point in units, and break-even point in dollars:
The Nut House, Inc., sells three types of nuts: almonds, cashews, and walnuts. Ten thousand cans of nuts were sold in 2011, and the amount of walnuts sold were twice as much as the number of cans of cashews, whereas almond sales were one-half the amount of cashew sales. Fixed costs were $40,000, and the unit sales prices and unit variable costs were as follows:
