Explanation / Answer

Answer 18:

Contribution = Contribution/Sales * 100

= (81000-15000)/81000 * 100

= 81.48% or 81% (option B)

Answer 20:

Variable cost = Sales - Contribution margin

= $235546 - $159987

= $75559 (option A)

Answer 23:

Gross Profit = Sales - Production expenses

= $260000 - (100000+75000)

= $85000 (option A)

Answer 26:

Break evn sales = Fixed Cost/Contribution margin ratio

where contribution margin ratio = Contribution/sales * 100

= (81000-15000)/81000*100

= 81.48%

Breakeven sales = 20000/81.48%

= $24546 (approx.)
