Explanation:

contribution = sales - variable cost

for Product B32L:

contribution = sales - variable cost

                     = 46,000 - 13800

                     = $32,200

for Product K84B:

contribution = sales - variable cost

                     = 27,000 - 14,670

                     = $12,330

total sales of the company = 46,000 + 27,000

                                             = $73,000

total contribution of the company = $32,200 + $12,330

                                                         = $44,530

cotribution margin ratio = contribution/sales

                                        = 44530/73000

                                        = 0.61

break even point  = fixed cost/cotribution margin ratio

                              = 42550/0.61

                              = $69,754

Therefore, The The break-even point for the entire company is closest to $69,754.
