Question

Sarratt Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 70% and its fixed monthly expenses are $38,000. Assume that the company's sales for May are expected to be $97,000. Required: Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.

Answer 1

Answer:

The company's net operating income for May is $7,930

Explanation:

Sales revenue = $97,000

Variable costs

= $97,000 × (1 - 70%)

= $97,000 × 0.69

= $66,930

Fixed costs = $38,000

Therefore, net operating income = Sales - revenue - variable cost - fixed cost

= $97,000 - $66,930 - $38,000

= $7,930
