Explanation / Answer

Contribution margin = Slaes revenues - Variable costs

= $1,800,000 - $900,000

= $900,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales revenues

= $900,000 / $1,800,000

= 0.5

(a)

Sales dollars = (fixed costs+target profit) / contribution margin ratio

= ($500,000 + $325,000) / 0.5

= $1,650,000

(b)

Sales dollars = fixed costs / contribution margin ratio

= $500,000 / 0.5

= $1,000,000
