    1. Option (e) is correct.

    2. Option (e) is correct.

    Explanation:

    (a) Weighted-average unit contribution margin:

    = (Unit selling price of plain - plain's variable cost) * 60% + (Unit selling price of fancy - fancy's variable cost) * 40%

    = (20 - 12) * 60% + (35 - 24.50) * 40%

    = $4.8 + $4.2

    = $9

    (b) Break even sales:

    = Annual fixed expenses : Weighted-average unit contribution margin

    = 45,000 : 9

    = 5,000
