Answer 1

Answer:

Contribution Margin Income Statement

Sales (3,500 × $60)                                      $210,000            100%

Less Variable Costs (3,500 × $21)               ($73,500)             35%

Contribution                                                  $136,500              65%

Less Fixed Costs :

Fixed Factory Overhead Costs                   ($30,000)

Fixed Selling and Administrative Costs      ($48,000)

Net Income / (Loss)                                        $58,500

Explanation:

Variable Cost Ratio = Variable Cost / Sales × 100

                                =  $21 / $60 × 100

                                =  35 %

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100

                                           = ($60 - $21) / $60 × 100

                                           = 65%
