Sales mix: It refers to the relative distribution of the total sales among the number of products sold by a company. In other words, it is expressed as a percentage of units sold for each product with respect to the total units sold for all the products.

Break-even Point: It refers to a point in the level of operations at which a company experiences its revenues generated is equal to its costs incurred. Thus, when a company reaches at its break-even point, it reports neither an income nor a loss from operations. The formula to calculate the break-even point in sales units is as follows:

$\text{Break-even}\text{point}\text{in}\text{Sales}\left(\text{units}\right)=\frac{\text{Fixed}\text{Costs}}{\text{Contribution}\text{Margin}\text{per}\text{unit}}$

To determine: the break-even point in sales units of Product AA and Product BB.
