a. Gross profit of $160,000
b. contribution margin of $400,000
c. gross profit of $190,000
d. contribution margin of $190,000

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $250,000

Explanation:

NOTE: The answer to the question is not among the options.

Contribution margin in Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) is sales minus variable cost.

Sales - $670,000

Total variable expenses $420,000

Therefore in CVP income statement, contribution margin is:

$670,000 - $420,000

= $250,000.

Gross profit is can never be calculated in CVP income statement
