Answer:

no damages from the driver.

Explanation:

In common law, he doctrine of contributory negligence establishes that if a person is injured by another party, but the injured person had some degree of responsibility or contribution to the incident that caused his/her injury, then the injured is not allowed to collect any money from the party that caused the injury.

In this case, since the pedestrian is responsible for 20% of the accident, then he/she cannot collect any money from the driver or the driver's insurance.

=$60,000+$270,000

=$330,000

Thus, the contribution margin is $330,000. It is computed by summing up the fixed cost and the pre-tax income of the company.

Compute the total sales of the company:

Contribution margin ratio=  Contribution margin  / Sales  

55%=  $330,000/ Sales

Sales=  $55%  / $330,000 ​  

=$600,000    

The sales of the company are $600,000.
