Contribution margin ratio Break-even point in units Break-even point in dollars 2. The sales manager feels that an $17,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensied effort by the sales staff, will result in a $115,000 increase in monthly sales.

However, xed costs would increase by $80,000 per month. a. Compute the new CM ratio and the new break-even point in both units and dollars. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your "Contribution margin ratio" answer to 2 decimal places. Round your "Break-even point" answers up to nearest whole number.) Contribution margin ratio Break-even point in units Break-even point in dollars b. Assume that the company expects to sell 25,000 units next month. Prepare two contribution format income statements: one assuming that operations are not automated, and one assuming that they are. (Do not round intermediate calculations.
