Answer:
a. Overall contribution margin = Total contribution / Total sales
= $119250 / $159000
=0.75
=75%
b. Overall Break even point in sales dollars = Fixed costs / contribution margin
=$82575 / 75%
=$110,100
c. Income statement showing the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Sales at Break even is in the ratio of 2:1
Total = 1 + 2 = 3
Claim-jumper ratio = 2/3
Makeover ratio= 1/3
Claim-jumper Makeover Total
Sales $106,000 $53000 $159000
Break even sales $73400 $36700 $110100
Working:
2/3 * $159,000 = $106,000 ; 2/3 * $110,100 = $73,400
1/3 * $159,000 = $53,000: 1/3 * $110,100 = $36,700
Claim-jumper Makeover Total
Sales $73,400 $36,700 $110,100
Variable expense $22,712 $4,813 $27,525
Contribution margin $50,688 $31,887 $82,575
Fixed expense $82,575
Net operating income 0
Workings of Variable expenses
Claim-jumper= $32,800 / $106,000 * $73,400 = $22,712
Makeover = $6,950 / $53,000 * $36,700 = $4,813
