Fixed expenses																	230,360
Net operating income																$	175,240

Dollar sales to break-even	=	Fixed expenses	=	$230,360	= $443,000
		CM ratio		0.52

As shown by these data, net operating income is budgeted at $175,240 for the month and the estimated break-even sales is $443,000.

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.

Answer 1

1)	Contribution Income Statement
				Product
				White			Fragrant			Loonzain			Total
	Percentage of total sales			48%			20%			32%			100%
	Sales			$ 249,600.00	100%		$ 312,000.00	100%		$ 218,400.00	100%		$ 780,000.00	100%
	Variable expenses			$   74,880.00	30%		$ 249,600.00	80%		$ 120,120.00	55%		$ 444,600.00	57%
	Contribution margin			$ 174,720.00	70%		$   62,400.00	20%		$   98,280.00	45%		$ 335,400.00	43%
	Fixed expenses												$ 230,360.00
	Net operating income												$ 105,040.00

Break even point in dollar sales =			Fixed Cost / Cont. Margin ratio
		=	$ 230360 / 43%
		=	$      535,721
