    1. Contribution Margin Ratio = 73%

    2. Variable Cost ratio = 27%

    3. Break-even Sales = $60,000

    Explanation:

    Sales $88,000

    Total variable cost $23,760

    Contribution margin $64,240

    Total Fixed Cost $43,800

    Operating Income $20,440

    1. Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution margin / Sales = $64,240 / 88,000 = 73%

    2. Variable Cost ratio = Variable cost / sales = $23,760 / $ 88,000 = 27%

    3. Break-even Sales = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin = $43,800 / 73% = $60,000
