Answer 1

Contribution margin income Statement:
			White	Fragrant	Loonzain	Total
Sales revenue			246400	308000	215600	770000
Less: Variable cost			73920	246400	118580	438900
Contribution			172480	61600	97020	331100
Less: Fixed cost						231920
Net Income						99180
CM ratio : 331100 / 770000 *100 = 43%
Break even sales in $: Fixed cost / CM ratio
		231920 /43% = 539349
