Explanation / Answer

Requirement 1: What is the company's contribution margin (CM) ratio? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole percentage. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) Total sales = $317,000 Total variable cost = $244,090 Total contribution = $72,910 Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales = 72,910 ÷ 317,000 Contribution margin ratio % = 23 Requirement 2: Estimate the change in the company's net operating income if it were to increase its total sales by $2,000. (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.).
