Butterscotch · Answer 1

Formula to be used is Contribution margin = Sales * Contribution margin ratio

Contribution Margin = $82,000 * 67% = $82,000*0.67 = 54,940

Net operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed expenses

Net operating income = $54,940 - $25,000 = $29,940

So the answer is option C

Weston Baxter · Answer 2

The correct option is $29940 as shown in the workings below

Explanation:

Contribution margin = Sales * Contribution margin ratio

Contribution margin=67%

Sales=$82000

Contribution margin=$82000*67%

Contribution margin=$54940

Net operating income=contribution - fixed costs

where fixed costs is $25000

Net operating margin=$54940-$25000

Net operating margin=$29940

Choosing $54940 is wrong because the requirement was not contribution margin
