Break Even Sales = Fixed Expenses/ 1- (Variable Expenses/ Sales)

We combined the Break Even Sales by adding the sales of the two products and the variable expenses of the two products.

Break Even Sales =$46,060/1-($10,780+$18,470/$31,000+ $44,000)

Break Even Sales =$46,060/1-(29250/75,000)

Break Even Sales =$46,060/ 1-0.39

Break Even Sales =$46,060/ 0.61

Break Even Sales = $75,508.19
