Answer:

Fixed costs= 1,100,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

During its most recent fiscal year, Dover, Inc. had total sales of $3,200,000. Contribution margin amounted to $1,500,000 and pretax income was $400,000.

We need to reverse engineer the income statement to determine the total fixed costs. We know that the pretax income is the difference between the total contribution margin and the fixed costs.

Pretax= total contribution margin - fixed costs

400,000= 1,500,000 - FC

Fixed costs= 1,500,000 - 400,000

Fixed costs= 1,100,000
