Sagot :

Answer and Explanation:

a. The preparation of the contribution margin income statement is presented below

Sales (36,300 × $400) $14,520,000

Less: variable cost (36,300 × $224) $8,131,200

Contribution margin $6,388,800

Less: fixed cost - $5,935,750

net income $453,050

b. The break even point is

In units

= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin per unit

= $5,935,750 ÷ ($400 - $224)

= 33,726 units

In dollars

= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin ratio

= $5,935,750 ÷ ($176 ÷ $400)

= $13,490,341

c. The margin of safety

In units

= Total sales units - break even units

= 36,300 - 33,726

= 2,574 units

In dollars

= Total sales - break even sales

= $14,520,000 - $13,490,341

= $1,029,659
