Answer 1

Statement showing Computations
Particulars	Amount
Cost at highest level of activity	433,440.00
Cost at Lowest level of activity	278,640.00
Highest level of activity	5,400.00
Lowest Level of activity	1,800.00
Variable cost per unit = (433,440/278,640)/(5400-1800)
Variable cost per unit = 154,800/3600
Variable cost per unit = $43
Fixed Costs = 433,440 - 5400*43
Fixed Costs = $201,240
Q2
Sales	830,000.00
Less Variable costs	257,300.00
Conribution = 830,000 - 257,300	572,700.00
Contribution margin ratio =572,700/830,000	69.00%
Q2 b
Contribution margin ratio	31%
Sales	554,000.00
Contribution =554000*31%	171,740.00
Fixed costs	121,940.00
Income from operations =171,740 - 121,940	49,800.00
