Overall Breakeven sales revenue = $ 89,589 (rounded off)

 

 

Calculation of Sales revenue of Product C at Break-even point

Sales Revenue of Product C at breakeven point = Overall breakeven sales revenue X Sales mix of Product C

Sales Revenue of Product C at breakeven point = $ 89,589 X 50%

Sales Revenue of Product C at breakeven point = $ 44,795.
