    A. The answer is:

    Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 40,000,000 = $30,000,000;

    Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 40,000,000 = $10,000,000

    B. The answer is:

    Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 350,000 = $262,500;

    Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 350,000 = $87,500.

    Explanation:

    A.

    Denote X is the total revenue Qwik Service has to earn.

    We have:

    Oil charge-related revenue: 0.75X; Oil charge-related margin 0.2 x 0.75X = 0.15X

    Brake repair-related revenue: 0.25X; Brake repair-related margin: 0.25X x 0.6 = 0.15X.

    => Total contribution margin = 0.15X + 0.15X = 0.3X

    To meet break-even, the total contribution margin should be equal to fixed cost or: 0.3X = 12,000,000 X = $40,000,000

    => Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 40,000,000 = $30,000,000;

    Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 40,000,000 = $10,000,000.

    B.

    The note Y is the total revenue per one outlet.

    At one outlet, revenue and margin will be:

    Oil charge-related revenue: 0.75X; Oil charge-related margin 0.2 x 0.75X = 0.15X

    Brake repair-related revenue: 0.25X; Brake repair-related margin: 0.25X x 0.6 = 0.15X.

    => Total contribution margin = 0.15X + 0.15X = 0.3X

    To meet net income target of $45,000, the total contribution margin should be equal to fixed cost of $60,000 and delivering $45,000 net income or: 0.3X = 45,000 + 60,000 X = $350,000.

    => Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 350,000 = $262,500;

    Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 350,000 = $87,500.
