Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Q= 1,000 units sold

Sales $ 345,000

Beginning merchandise inventory $ 23,000

Purchases $ 230,000

Ending merchandise inventory $ 11,500

Fixed selling expense $ ?

Fixed administrative expense $ 13,800

Variable selling expense $ 17,250

Variable administrative expense $ ?

Contribution margin $ 69,000

Net operating income $ 20,700

Cost of goods sold (COGS)= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory= 23000 + 230000 - 11500= $241,500

1) Revenue= 345000

COGS= 241500

Variable selling expense= 17250

Variable administrative expense= ? =17250 (345000 - 241500 - 17250 - 69000)

Contribution margin= 69000

Fixed selling expense= ? = 34500 (69000 - 13800 - 20700)

Fixed administrative expense= 13,800

Net income= 20,700

2) Sales= 345,000

COGS= 241500

Gross profit= 103500

Adminstrative expense= 31050

Selling expense= 51750

Net income= 20700

3) Selling price per unit= total sales/Q= 345000/1000= $345

4) Variable cost per unit= total variable cost/Q= (241500+17250+17250)= $276000/1000= $276

5) Contribution margin per unit= 69000/1000= 69

6) The contribution format income statement is better because it shows directly the impact of each unit in the contribution margin.
