    Yes, I can help you, but I will not solve it for you. Instead, I will guide you as to how to go about it.

    A. Total contribution/total units sold
    B. Fixed costs/contribution per unit
    C. Use the break even sales from B and allocate in the sales mix ratio.

    This might help. If you are stuck, show me how you have done it
