The price per calendar is $10. What is the contribution margin per unit? a.$5.00 b.$6.00 c.$5.40 d.$6.40 e.$6.30

Respuesta :

Answer:

b.$6.00

Explanation:

The contribution margin is  the difference between the sales and variable cost. The difference between the unit sales and unit variable cost thus gives the contribution margin per unit.

Total variable cost per unit includes both direct and indirect cost.

variable cost per unit = $1.50 + $1.20 + 0.90 + 0.40

= $4.00

contribution margin per unit

= $10.00 - $4.00

= $6.00
