Variable cost is 35% of the sales price; contribution margin is 65% of the sales price. Total fixed cost equals $78,000 (includes fixed factory overhead and fixed selling and administrative expense). 1. Calculate the sales revenue that Chillmax must make to earn operating income of $81,900 by using the point in sales equation. 2.
