(1)

Fees revenues 42,600

Total expenses 1.92 x 4260 = 8179.2

Net income 34,420.8

(2)

Fees revenues 42,600

Variable cost 2,982

Contribution Margin 39,618

Fixed Cost 14,400

Net Income 25,218

Explanation:

(1)

We multiply by the garment cleaned

10 x 4,260 = 42,600

0.7 x 4,260 = 2982

and distribute the fixed cost among the normal capacity

14,400 / 7,500 = 1.92 fixed cost per garment cleaned

.7 + 1.92 = 2.62 cost per garment

(2)

We do not include the fixed cost in the unit cost, we subtact them completely as an expense.
