1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

2. Prepare a traditional format income statement.

3. Calculate the selling price per unit.

4. Calculate the variable cost per unit.

5. Calculate the contribution margin per unit.

Answer:

First we must determine cost of goods sold = $27,000 + $270,000 - $13,500 = $283,500

now we must find total variable costs = total sales - contribution margin = $405,00 - $81,000 = $324,000

variable administrative expenses = total variable costs - COGS - variable selling expense = $324,000 - $283,500 - $20,250 = $20,250
