Contribution Format Income Statement
An income statement layout that separates variable costs from fixed costs, showing the contribution margin and highlighting how sales revenue covers variable costs and fixed costs to determine net income.
Break-even Point
This refers to the level of production or sales volume at which total revenues match total expenses, resulting in no net profit or loss.
Net Operating Income
A financial metric indicating the profitability of a business's core operations, calculated by subtracting operating expenses from gross income.
- Project the net operational profit through the scrutiny of sales volume differences, selling price changes, variable economic obligations, and fixed expenses.
- Calculate the equilibrium point quantified by both units and financial terms.
Verified Answer
c. CM ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales = $48,000 ÷ $120,000 = 40%
Dollar sales to break even = Fixed expenses ÷ CM ratio = $33,600 ÷ 40% = $84,000
