Actual sales by product are as follows: sinks, $182,700 (525 units); mirrors, $304,500 (1,050 units); and vanities, $243,600 (525 units).

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the month based on actual sales data. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
2. Compute the break-even point in sales dollars for the month, based on the actual data. (Round your percentage answers to nearest whole percent. Round other intermediate values and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
3. Calculate the break-even point in unit sales for the month, based on the actual data. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
