Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Waite Company sells 250,000 units at 120 per unit. Variable costs are 78 per unit, and fixed costs are 8,175,000.

The contribution margin ratio is calculated using the following formula:

Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin / selling price

Contribution margin ratio = (120 - 78) / 120 = 0.35

Unitary contribution margin = selling price - unitary variable cost

Unitary contribution margin = 120 - 78 = 42

The operating income is the result of deducting from the total contribution margin the fixed costs:

Sales = 250,000*120 = 30,000,000

Variable costs = 250,000*78 = (19,500,000)

Total contribution margin = 10,500,000

Fixed costs = (8,175,000)

Net operating income = 2,325,000
