Sales xxxxLess:Variable cost xxxxContribution margin xxxx (balancing figure)
Income statement in financial reporting is different in this sense that in that income statement all expenses and incomes are shown as incomes and expenses and there is no classification of fixed expenses or variable expense while in contribution margin income statement expenses are shown in this way that separate the fixed expenses from variable portion of expenses.
1. Contribution approach income statement is different from simple income statement in this sense that in contribution margin approach variable costs are deducted from revenues to find out how much any sale of unit of product is contributing towards recovery of fixed cost of product.
If contribution margin ratio or contribution margin per unit is given then it is not required to have variable cost available as in that case break even point can be calculated using contribution margin ratio, if contribution margin ratio is also not available then we have to prepare summarized income statement for missing figures and from that information we will create break even point.

Under the contribution approach (variable costing), all variable expenses (both manufacturing and non-manufacturing) are deducted first from sales to arrive at contribution margin. Fixed costs (both manufacturing and non manufacturing) are deducted from contribution margin to arrive at net income before taxes. Under traditional approach (absorption costing), all the manufacturing costs (both fixed and variable) are deducted from sales to arrive at gross profit (margin). Non-manufacturing (Selling and administrative) costs are then deducted from gross margin to arrive at net income before taxes.
If contribution margin ratio or contribution margin per unit is given then it is not required to have variable cost available as in that case break even point can be calculated using contribution margin ratio, if contribution margin ratio is also not available then we have to prepare summarized income statement for missing figures and from that information we will create break even point.
Contribution margin approach to income teaches the management about how much production volume must achieve to at least recover the full cost of production.
Yes, Revenues minus variable costs gives you your contribution margin. Contribution margin minus fixed costs gives you net income.
Contribution margin ratio is overall total contribution margin while contribution margin ration per unit is the allocation of total production contribution margin to per unit basis.
Formula for calculating average Contribution margin Average contribution margin = total contribution margin / total number of units
