Patriot Co., manufactures and sells three products: red, white, and blue. Their unit selling prices are red, $51; white, $81; and blue, $106. The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are red, $36; white. $56; and blue, $76. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of 4:5:2 (red:white:blue). Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are $146,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture all three products. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: red, by $14; white, by $24; and blue, by $14. However, the new material requires new equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $16,000. Required: 1. Assume if the company continues to use the old material, determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product. (Round composite units up to next whole number.) 1. Determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product Determine the selling price per composite unit.
