Part 1. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for the company.
Part 2. Compute its contribution margin per unit and its contribution margin ratio.
Part 3 Analysis Component
Contribution margin shows how much of total sales are available to cover fixed costs and contribute to operating income. This is why the title for this statement is “Contribution Margin Income Statement.” Contribution margin ratio shows management the percent of each sales dollar that is available to cover fixed costs and to contribute to operating income. That is, for each $1 of sales, $0.82 is available both to cover fixed costs and to contribute to operating income.
