Explanation:

1.  The schedule of the company’s total costs and costs per unit would be as follows:

                       67,000      87,000 107,000

Total costs:    

Variable costs 261,300     339.300 417.300

Fixed costs     360,000   360,000 360,000

Total costs    $621,300 $699,300 $777,300

Cost per unit:    

Variable costs      $3.9           $3.9          $3.9

=(261300/67000)

Fixed costs           $5.37 $4.14            $3.36

=(360,000/67000)        =(360,000/87000)     =(360,000/107,000)

Total cost      $9.27          $8.04          $7.26

2. The contribution format income statement for the year would be as follows:

Particulars                       Amount($)

Sales(97,000*8.08)        $783,760

Variable costs(97,000*3.9) $378,300

Contribution margin        $405,460

Fixed costs                        $360,000

Net operating income        $45,460
