Assume that a company has forecasted 5,800 units sold, has an average selling price of $25.00 per unit, unit variable cost of $10.00 per unit, and a total fixed cost equal to $84,000. Using the template provided, identify the Contribution-format Income Statement for the following two alternatives:a. High Quality: Raise the average Selling Price to $26.00 per unit. Raise the Unit Variable Cost to $12.00 per unit. Total Fixed Costs remain at $84,000. Sales forecast increases to 6,380 units

b. Low Price: Lower the average Selling Price to $22.50 per unit. Lower the Unit Variable Cost to $9.50 per unit. Total Fixed Costs remain at $84,000. Sales forecast increases to 6,960 units

c. Calculate Margin of safety for parts a. and b. above (as a percentage, in units sold, and in sales revenue terms)

d. Calculate Operating Leverage and Degree of Operating Leverage for parts a. & b. above

e. Compare the short-term profit between the High Quality and Low Price
