Expert Solution

(A)

Contribution margin = sales/revenue - variable expenses

Variable expenses = variable manufacturing costs + variable non-manufacturing costs

In this example,

Variable manufacturing costs = 20.18% of revenue = 20.18% x 4500500 = 908201

And, variable non-manufacturing costs = 18.09% of revenue = 18.09% x 4500500 = 814140

Therefore,

Contribution margin = 4500500 - (908201+814140) = 4500500 - 1722341

= 2778159

(B)

Contribution margin percentage = (contribution margin/revenue) x 100

= (2778159/4500500) x 100

= 62% approximately.

(C)

Gross margin = sales/revenue - variable manufacturing costs - fixed manufacturing costs

= 4500500 - 908201 - 652573

= 2939726

Where,

Fixed manufacturing costs = 14.50% of revenue = 14.50% x 4500500

= 652573

(D)

Gross margin percentage = (gross margin/revenue) x 100

= (2939726/4500500) x 100

= 65% approximately

(E)

Operating income:

Revenue (-) variable manufacturing costs (-) fixed manufacturing costs	4500500 908201 652573
Gross margin (-) variable non manufacturing costs (-) fixed non manufacturing costs	2939726 814140 545011
Operating income	1580575
