Schister Systems uses the following data in its Cost-Volume-Profit analyses: Total Sales $ 400,000 Variable expenses 280,000 Contribution margin 120,000 Fixed expenses 100,000 Net operating income $ 20,000 What is total contribution margin if sales volume increases by 20%

Contribution margin = 144,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total Sales $ 400,000

Variable expenses 280,000

Contribution margin 120,000

To calculate the new contribution margin, we need to increase sales and variable cost by 20%

Total sales = 400,000*1.20 = 480,000

Variable expense = 280,000*1.2 = (336,000)

Contribution margin = 144,000
