Explanation:
We don't have enough information to answer the question numerically. But, I can provide a few formulas of how to answer it.
A)
Revenue/Sales (+)
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) (-)
=Gross Profit
Marketing, Advertising, and Promotion Expenses (-)
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses (-)
=Net operating income
B)Break-even point (dollars) fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio= (Price - unitary variable cost)/Price
1) Increase in Unitary variable cost:
Contribution margin= price - new unitary variable cost
2) Variance in income= new sales* contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
3) Prepare the income statement again
C) Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin
