    Department 2 has the highest Contribution To Overhead and its dollar amount is $ 260,000

    Explanation:

    Ultimo Co.

    Dept. 1 2 3

    Sales $ 1,000,000 $ 400,000 $ 700,000

    Cost of Goods Sold 700,000 150,000 300,000

    Contribution Margin 300,000 300,000 400,000

    Direct Expenses 100,000 40,000 150,000

    Indirect Expenses $ 80,000 100,000 20,000

    Contribution To Overhead 200,000 260,000 250,000

    Contribution To Overhead Calculations

    Department 1 = Contribution Margin - total direct Expenses

    = 300,000-100,000=200,000

    Department 2=Contribution Margin - total direct Expenses

    =300,000-40,000 = 260,000

    Department 3=Contribution Margin - total direct Expenses

    =400,000-150,000 = 250,000
