Multiple-Product Analysis, Changes in Sales Mix, Sales to Earn Target Operating Income
Basu Company produces two types of sleds for playing in the snow: basic sled and aerosled. The projected income for the coming year, segmented by product line, follows:

The selling prices are $30 for the basic sled and $60 for the aerosled.
1. Compute the number of units of each product that must be sold for Basu to break even. Round your answers to the nearest whole.
Basic units
Aero units
2. Assume that the marketing manager changes the sales mix of the two products so that the ratio is five basic sleds to three aerosleds. Compute the number of units of each product that must be sold for Basu to break even. Round your answers to the nearest whole.
Basic units
Aero units
3. Conceptual Connection: Refer to the original data. Suppose that Basu can increase the sales of aerosleds with increased advertising. The extra advertising would cost an additional $195,000, and some of the potential purchasers of basic sleds would switch to aerosleds. In total, sales of aerosleds would increase by 12,000 units, and sales of basic sleds would decrease by 5,000 units. Would Basu be better or worse off with this strategy? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
