Prepare a contribution margin (behavioral, variable) income statement for Lewis Company, compare net operating profit from a contribution margin income statement with net income from an absorption income statement, and explain why this difference happens. Prepare a second version assuming the selling price per unit increases to $320 per unit.

Further, answer break even questions below. Use the original information to:

  • Determine the number of units the company must sell to break even for the year?
  • Compute break even assuming direct materials cost increase from $120 to $150, but all information remains the same.

It is important to answer the questions as posed. The document should be two to four pages and written in a clear and concise manner or present tables as required. Support your discussion or tables with references in APA format. You are encouraged to use Excel or other compatible spreadsheet when computations are involved. You can turn in the spreadsheet instead. The content should be equivalent to the page length suggested for a word processing document.
