Answer 1

Net Income = $18,000

Step-by-step explanation:

MousePad Computer Company

Contribution Margin Income statement

Revenue (120 students × $450) = $54,000

Less: Variable expenses:

Student-related costs (120 students × $100) = $12,000

Administrative costs (120 students × $30) = $ 3,600

Total variable expenses =($15,600)

Contribution Margin $38,400

Less: Fixed cost

Instructors salary (3 × $1,800) = $ 5,400

Maintenance on building = $15,000

Total fixed cost =$(20,400)

Net Operating Income =$18,000

Note:

Students cost is a variable expense, because if we decrease the student's number, the revenue and expenses will decrease proportionately. Moreover, the company is getting profit from the students.
