Answer:

1) 25%

Dept.         Sales        COGS         Direct Expenses      Indirect Expenses

1            1,080,000    708,000         102,000                   88,000

2             480,000     158,000           48,000                 108,000

3             780,000    308,000          158,000                  28,000

total     2,340,000   1,174,000         308,000               224,000

contribution to overhead = sales - COGS - direct expenses = $1,080,000 - $708,000 - $102,000 = $270,000

contribution to overhead as percentage of sales = $270,000 / $1,080,000 = 0.25 = 25%
