\begin{array}{lrr} \text{Sales}&&\$450,000\\ \text{Variable expenses:}\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{Variable manufacturing expenses}&\$130,000\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{Sales commissions}&48,000\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{Shipping}&\underline{\hspace{20pt}12,000}\\ \text{Total variable expenses}&&\underline{\hspace{15pt}190,000}\\ \text{Contribution margin}&&260,000\\ \text{Fixed expenses:}\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{Salary of product-line manager}&21,000\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{General factory overhead}&104,000*\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{Depreciation of equipment (no resale value)}&36,000\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{Advertising—traceable}&110,000\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{Insurance on inventories}&9,000\\ \hspace{10pt}\text{Purchasing department}&\underline{\hspace{5pt}50,000**}\\ \text{Total fixed expenses}&&\underline{\hspace{15pt}330,000}\\ \text{Net income}&&\underline{\underline{\$\hspace{8pt}(70,000)}}\\\\ \end{array}
