Answers
Unit Contribution = Unit Sale price – Unit Variable Cost
= $ 40 - $ 12 = $ 28
Contribution margin Ratio (CM Ratio) = Unit Contribution / Unit Sales Price
= $ 28 / $ 40 = 0.7
Hence, CM Ratio = 70% [0.7 x 100) = Option D: 70%
Total Variable costs:
Direct labor cost = 136000
Direct Material cost = 80000
Packaging Costs = 18800
Total variable cost = 136000 + 80000 + 18800
= $ 234,800 =
Option C: $ 234,800
