Kosinksi Manufacturing carries no inventories. Its product is manufactured only when a customer’s order is received. It is then shipped immediately after it is made. For its fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, Kosinksi’s break-even point was $1,350,000. On sales of $1.3 million, its full-cost income statement showed a gross profit of $200,000, direct materials cost of $400,000, and direct labour costs of $500,000. The contribution margin was $117,000, and variable manufacturing overhead was $100,000.
