    Formula to be used is Contribution margin = Sales * Contribution margin ratio

    Contribution Margin = $82,000 * 67% = $82,000*0.67 = 54,940

    Net operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed expenses

    Net operating income = $54,940 - $25,000 = $29,940

    So the answer is option C

    The correct option is $29940 as shown in the workings below

    Explanation:

    Contribution margin = Sales * Contribution margin ratio

    Contribution margin=67%

    Sales=$82000

    Contribution margin=$82000*67%

    Contribution margin=$54940

    Net operating income=contribution - fixed costs

    where fixed costs is $25000

    Net operating margin=$54940-$25000

    Net operating margin=$29940

    Choosing $54940 is wrong because the requirement was not contribution margin
