Explanation:

1) A Contribution Margin Income Statement is a special format of the income statement that segregates the variable and fixed expenses involved in running a business. It shows the revenue generated after deducting all variable and fixed expenses separately.

Sales= 25000q*$52= $1300000

Variable costs:

Cost of good sold= $22*25000= 550000

Sales commissions=sales*0,05=65000

Shipping expense= $6*25000= 150000

Total variable cost= $765000

Contribution margin=$535000

Fixed costs:

Advertising expense= $172,000

Shipping expense= $54,000

Administrative salaries= $82,000

Insurance expense= $9,200

Depreciation expense= $52,000

Total fixed cost= $369200

Net profit= $165800

2)The general structure of an income statement proceeds as follow:

Revenue/Sales (+)

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) (-)

=Gross Profit

Marketing, Advertising, and Promotion Expenses (-)

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses (-)

=EBITDA

Depreciation & Amortization Expense (-)

=Operating Income or EBIT

Interest (-)

Other Expenses (-)

=EBT (Pre-Tax Income)

Income Taxes (-)

=Net Income

In this exercise:

Revenues= 1300000

COGS= 550000

Gross profit= 750000

Sales commissions=sales*0,05=65000

Shipping expense= $6*25000+54000= 204000

Advertising expense= 172000

Administrative salaries= 82000

Insurance expense= $9200

EBITDA= 532200

Depretiation= 52000

Net profit= $165800

i'ts proportional. if the inflation rate is 12% for example, the cpi will be 12% less.
