Instructions
a. Compute separately the contribution margin ratio for each line of products.
b. Assuming the current sales mix compute:
1. Average contribution margin ratio of total monthly sales.
2. Monthly operating income.
3. The monthly break-even sales volume (stated in dollars).
c. Assume that because of consumer trends, the company’s sales mix shifts to a higher demand for hats. Total sales remain $1.5 million per month, but now 60 percent of this revenue stems from sales of hats. Using this new sales mix, compute:
1. Average contribution margin ratio of total monthly sales.
2. Monthly operating income.
3. The monthly break-even sales volume (stated in dollars).
