Explanation / Answer

1, sales mix is 40:60 (snowboards/skis) one bundle would be 2 snowboards and 3 skis (this is 40:60 ratio) CM for snowboards is 250 - 170 = 80 CM for skis = 340 - 160 = 180 CM for one bundle = 2*80 + 3*180 = 700 420,000/700 = 600 bundles 600 bundles = 2*600 snowbards + 3*600 skis = 1200 + 1800 for a total of 3000 units answer: 3000 units 2. snowbaords = 1200 units skis = 1800 units
