Reyna Graham · Answer 1

Contribution margin=Sales-Variable cost

= (60-21) = $39

Target Contribution margin=Fixed costs+Target profits

= (78000+81900) = $159900

1. Number of pairs of shoes = (159900/39) = 4100

2.

Sales (4100*60) = 246000

Total variable cost (4100*21) = 86100

Total Contribution margin = $159900

Total fixed cost = 78000

Operating income = $81900.
