Answer 1

Answer:

a. The contribution margin ratio will be 41%

b. The income from operations will be $12,420,000.

Explanation:

a. The sales are given at $112,900,000.

The fixed costs are $25,000,000.

The variable costs are $66,611,000.

The contribution margin will be

=Sales-variable costs

=$(112,900,000-66,611,000)

=$46,289,000

The contribution margin ratio will be

=(Contribution margin/sales)*100

=($46,289,000/ $112,900,000)*100

=41%

b. Now, if the contribution margin ratio is 40%.

The sales are given at $34,800,000.

The fixed costs are $1,500,000.

Income from operations or operating profit will be

=(sales*contribution margin ratio)-fixed cost

=$(34,800,000*0.4)-$1,500,000

=$12,420,000
