Gross margin income statement

Sales 1,072,500

(5500*$ 195 per unit)

Less Variable expenses:

Direct Material 198,000

(5500*36)

Direct Labour 143,000

(5500*26)

Variable manufacturing overhead 121,000

(5500*22)

Fixed Manufacturing overhead 224,950

(5500*40.90)

(225,000/5500=40.90)

Gross Margin $385,550

Therefore Gross Margin will be $385,550

b. Preparation of a contribution margin income statement.

Contribution margin income statement

Sales 1,072,500

(5500*$ 195 per unit)

Less cost of goods sold:

Direct Material 198,000

(5500*36)

Direct Labour 143,000

(5500*26)

Variable manufacturing overhead 121,000

(5500*22)

Variable Marketing and administrative cost 44,000

(5500*8)

Contribution margin $566,500

Therefore Contribution margin will be $566,500
