Answer 1

Answer:

c. 12.5% x, 87.5% y

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales mix is the relative proportion of a business's products that are sold.

This is important because different products have different profitability. So it enables the business make a more profitable decision.

Last year, Rusty sold 5,000 units of x and 35,000 units of y.

Total Units Sold=5000+35000=40000

Product x Proportion of Sales= [TeX]A=\frac{5000}{40000}[/TeX]

Percentage of Total Sales=[TeX]A=\frac{5000}{40000}X100[/TeX]=12.5%

Product y Proportion of Sales= [TeX]A=\frac{35000}{40000}[/TeX]

Percentage of Total Sales=[TeX]A=\frac{35000}{40000}X100[/TeX]=87.5%

Sales Mix therefore is 12.5% x, 87.5%y
