Explanation / Answer

a.

b

0.32

a.

contribution margin ratio  = (sales - variable cost) / sales       = ($480,000 -$360,000) / $480,000       = 25%

b

contribution margin ratio   = (sales - variable cost) / sales

0.32

      = ($ 850,000 - variable cost ) / $850,000 $272,000       = $850,000 - variable cost Variable cost       = $850,000 - $272,000 Variable cost       = $578,000 Income from operation: Sales $850,000 Variable cost (578,000) Contribution margin $272,000 Fixed cost (190,000) Income form operation $82,000
