The Summer of 2020 posses several challenges for you as a recently hired MBA intern. You are hired to work in a consulting capacity (while working remotely) to provide an analysis for Al Dente's Italian Restaurant, a small family owned business in the North End. A financial income Statement is presented below: Sales $4,748,480.00 Cost of sales (all variable) $2,741,310.00 Gross Margin $2,007,170.00 Operating expenses: Variable $489,236.00 Fixed $376,068.00 Total operating expenses: $865,304.00 Administative expenses (all fixed) $993,300.00 Net operating income $148,566.00 This income statement presents the sales, expenses and pre-tax operating income for a local eating facility. At Al Dente, the average meal cost for lunches and dinners are $20 and $40 respectively. Al Dente serves both lunch and dinner 300 days per year and serves twice as many lunches as dinners. As the MBA intern you are to prepare a managerial accounting focused report to the owners of Al Dente's Italian Restaurant, to include the following: 1. Prepare a contribution margin income statement using the given financial data.

Hint: To solve a break even sales mix, use the horizontal formula: Net operating income = ($Sales - $Variable costs) - Sfixed costs Net operating income = $CM - Sfixed costs At Breakeven, NOI $0 Therefore, $CM = $ Fixed costs Now solve for the unit $CM for each item. Let X be the number of dinners, 2x the number of lunches. $CM is the combined total of the $CM for dinners, and the SCM for lunches
