Actual sales by product are: White, $195,200, Fragrant, $244,000 and Loonzain, $170,800 Required: 1 Prepare a contribution format income statement for the month based on the actual sales data 2 Compute the break even point in dollar sales for the month based on your actual data

Explanation / Answer

Answer to Question Number 1: Contribution format income statement for the month based on the actual sales data

Calculation for White

Sales = $195,200

Variable expense (30%) = $58,560

Therefore contribution margin = $136,640

Calculation for Fragrant

Sales = $244,000

Variable expense (80%) = $195,200

Therefore contribution margin = $48,800

Calculation for Loonzain

Sales = $170,800

Variable expense (55%) = $93,940

Therefore contribution margin = $76,860

Total sales from all the three products = $610,000

Total varaiable expense for all the three products = $347,700

Therefore total contribution margin from all the three products = $262,300

Answer to Question Number 2: Computing the break even point in dollar sales for the month based on the actual data

Contribution Margin ratio = $262,300/$610,000 = 43%

Dollar sales to break even = Fixed expense/CM ratio

= $226,200/0.43

= $526,046.51
