    1. 40%

    2. $400

    Explanation:

    1. The computation of the contribution margin ratio is shown below:

    Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - variable expenses) : (sales)

    = ($200,000 - $120,000) : ($200,000)

    = ($80,000) : ($200,000)

    = 40%

    2. And, if the total sales is increased by $1,000, so the change in the net income would be

    = Increased amount of total sales * contribution margin ratio

    = $1,000 * 40%

    = $400
