Rory Harmon · Answer 1

the company will have an operating income of $24,200 at sales level of $95,000

Explanation:

Target profit formula:

Fixed cost 29,000

Sales revenue 95,000

Contribution Margin Ratio 56% = 0.56

from each dollar of sales 56 cents remains to afford fixed cost and make a gain:

95,000 x 0.56 = 53,200 contribution

less 29,000 fixed cost = 24,200
