Current Attempt in Progress Wildhorse Delivery is a rapidly growing delivery service. Last year, 80% of its revenue came from the delivery of mailing "pouches" and small, standardized delivery boxes (which provides a 20% contribution margin). The other 20% of its revenue came from delivering non-standardized boxes (which provides a 70% contribution margin). With the rapid growth of Internet retail sales, Wildhorse believes that there are great opportunities for growth in the delivery of non-standardized boxes. The company has foxed costs of $13,868.100 Sales mix is determined based upon total sales dollars. (a) What is the company's break-even point in total sales dollars? At the break-even point, how much of the company's sales are provided by each type of service? (Use Weighted-Average Contribution Margin Ratio rounded to 2 decimal places eg.0.22 and round final answers to O decimal places, eg 2.510) Total break-even sales Sale of mail pouches and small boxes Sale of non-standard…
