    Answer and Explanation:

    The computation of total restaurant sales and the sales of each product line is shown below:-

    Sales = (Net income + Fixed costs + variable costs)

    Let sales be "x"

    Sales = ($1,417,000 + $116,000) : 0.51

    = $3,005,882.35

    Total sales Contribution Contribution Each product

    Margin Margin ratio sales

    Appetizers 15% 70% 10.50% $450,882.353

    Main entrees 50% 25% 12.50% $1,502,941.18

    Beverages 25% 80% 20% $751,470.588
