Suppose that Chillmax Company now sells both pairs of shoes and fabric carryalls. The pairs of shoes are priced at $60 and have variable costs of $21 each. The carryalls are priced at $36 and have variable costs of $9 each. Total fixed cost for Chillmax as a whole equals $91,500 (includes all fixed factory overhead and fixed selling and administrative expense). Next year, Chillmax expects to sell 3,500 pairs of shoes and 875 carryalls. Required:

1. Form a package of shoes and carryalls based on the sales mix expected for the coming year.

The package of shoes and carryalls based on the sales mix expected for the coming year is:

= 4:1

Explanation:

a) This means for every 4 shoes, there is 1 carryall.

b) Data:

Company-wide Fixed costs = $91,500

Unit price of a pair of shoes = $60

The variable cost = $21

This gives a contribution to the fixed cost = $39 ($60 - $21) per unit

Unit price of carryalls = $36

The variable of carryalls = $9

This gives a contribution to the fixed cost = $27 ($36 - $9) per unit

Estimated quantity of pairs of shoes to be sold next year = 3,500

Estimated quantity of carryalls to be sold next year = 875

The ratio of shoes to carryalls = 3,500:875

= 3,500/875

= 4:1

The sales mix for Chillmax Company refers to the proportion of the company's total sales for each type of product sold (pairs of shoes and carryalls).
