Question

Rocky Mountain Bottling Company produces a soft drink that is sold for a dollar. At production and sales of 800,000 units, the company pays $600,000 in production costs, half of which are fixed costs. At that volume, general, selling, and administrative costs amount to $250,000, of which $70,000 are fixed costs. What is the amount of contribution margin per unit?

Answer 1

Based on the fixed costs of the Rocky Mountain Bottling Company, the contribution margin per unit is $0.40 per unit

How is the contribution margin found?

First, find the variable costs:

= 300,000 + (250,000 - 70,000)

= $480,000

The contribution margin per unit is:

= (Sales - variable costs) / number of units

= (800,000 - 480,000) / 800,000

= $0.40 per unit
