    Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin / Sales

    = $ 315,000 / $ 525,000

    = 0.6 or 60%

    Hence, contribution margin at $ 230,000 Sales = Contribution margin ratio * $ 230,000 (Sales)

    = 0.6 * 230,000 = $ 138,000 (Part A)

    Contribution margin at $ 400,000 Sales = 0.6 * $ 400,000

    = $ 240,000 (Part B)

    At Sales level of $ 230,000

    Sales revenue $ 230,000

    - Variable expenses (Sales - Contribution margin) $ 92,000

    Contribution Margin (From Part A) $ 138,000

    - Fixed Expenses $ 172,000

    Operating Income / Loss $ (34,000)

    At Sales level of $ 400,000

    Sales Revenue $ 400,000

    - Variable expenses $ 160,000

    Contribution Margin (From part B) $ 240,000

    - Fixed Expenses $ 172,000

    Operating Income / Loss $ 68,000
