Instructions:
1. Prepare a contribution margin analysis report for the year ended Dec 31, 2010.
2. At a meeting of the board of directors on Jan 30, 2011, the president, after reviewing the contribution margin analysis report, made the following comment:

It looks as if the price increase of 15.00 had the effect of decreasing sales volume. However, this was a favorable trade off. The variable cost of goods sold was less than planned. Apparently, we are efficiently managing our variable cost of goods sold. However, the variable selling and administrative expenses appear out of control. Let’s look into these expenses and get them under control. Also, let’s consider increasing the sales price to 120 and continue this favorable tradeoff between higher price and lower volume.

Do you agree with the President's comment? Explain.
