          Contribution format income statement

Sales                                                    $210,000

Less Variable Expenses

Cost of goods sold           $161,000      

Selling Expenses               $15,000

Administrative Expenses   $12,000  

                                                             $188,000

Contribution margin                             $22,000

Less: Fixed Expenses

Selling Expenses             $68,000    

Administrative Expenses $12,000

Total Fixed Expenses                           $80,000

Net Operating Income (Loss)              $62,000

Working

Cost of goods sold=Beginning inventory + Purchases − Ending inventory

=$14,000 + $140,000 − $7,000

=$161,000

Variable administrative = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Variable expense  - Contribution margin

=  $210,000 - $161,000 - $15,000 - $60,000

= -$26,000

Fixed selling expenses = Contribution margin - Administrative margin - Net Income  

= $60,000 -  (-$26,000) - $18,000

= $68,000

2.                   Todrick Company  

         Traditional format income statement.

Sales                                                                 $210,000

Fixed selling expenses                   $68,000

Variable administrative expenses  $12,000

Fixed administrative expenses       $12,000    $107,000

Net Operating Income (Loss)                             $58,000

3. Selling price per unit = Sales / No of units

=  $210,000 / 1000 unit

= $210

4. Variable cost per unit = Variable expenses / No of units

=  $188,000 / 1000 unit

= $188

5. Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin / No of units

= $22,000 / 1000 unit

= $22
