Answer:

The answer is: 50 basic units and 13 deluxe units

Explanation:

                                     Basic model            Deluxe model               Total

Sales price                       $45                           $49

Variable costs                  $35                           $40

Contribution margin        $10                            $9

× Sales Mix                        4                                 1                                 5

Total contribution m.       $40                           $9                              $49

Weighted contribution margin = total contribution margin / units = $49 / 5

Weighted contribution margin = $9.8

Break even point  = total fixed costs / weighted contribution margin

Break even point = $617 / $9.8 = 62.96 units ≈ 63 units

  • basic units = 63 x 80% = 50.4 ≈ 50 units
  • deluxe units = 63 x 20% = 12.6 ≈ 13 units
