During the current year, Goldblum Co. sold 160,000 units of its product at a selling price of $40. The variable cost per unit was $30, and Goldblum reported net income for the year of $220,000. What was the amount of Goldblum's fixed costs for the year?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary
Contribution margin per unit = $40 - $30 = $10
Total contribution margin = $10 × 160,000 = $1,600,000
Total contribution margin - fixed costs = net income
Fixed costs = total contribution margin - net income
Fixed costs = $1,600,000 - 220,000 = $1,380,000
