Answer 1

1.Contribution format income statement for the month based on actual sales data :

	White	Fragrant	Loonzain	Total
Sales	$214,400	$268,000	$187,600	$670,000
(-) Variable expenses	$64,320 [ 30% of sales ]	$214,400 [ 80% of sales ]	$103,180 [ 55% of sales ]	$381,900
Contribution margin	$150,080	$53,600	$84,420	$288,100
(-) Fixed expenses				$231,400
Net operating income				$56,700

2. Company's overall actual contribution margin ratio = actual total contribution margin / actual total sales = [ $288,100 / $670,000 ] * 100 = 43%

Company's overall Break-even point in dollars based on actual data = Fixed expenses / Company's overall actual contribution margin ratio = $231,400 / 43% = $583,140
