Selling price: $5,820

Variable cost: $3,320

BEP= 125 units (500 desks and 250 chairs)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the break even point.

In this case, we have composite unit made by two products wich have a ratio of 4:2. Thar means 4 desks and 2 chairs per unit.

The selling price of this composite unit is:

The variable cost of the composite unit is:

To calculate the break even point, the unit will be the composite one  (4 desks and 2 chairs).

We know the fixed costs ($312,500) and the selling price and variable costs of each composite unit, so we are ready to calculate the BEP.

The BEP formula states that

That means that the quantity needed to sell to start to have profits is 125 composite units.

That means 500 desks (125*4=500) and 250 chairs (125*2=250).

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
