Answer:

Contribution= $214,800

Explanation:

<em>Contribution margin ratio is the proportion of sales revenue that is earned as contribution. </em>

Unit sold = revenue / selling price = 880,000/55 = 16,000  units

Contribution = Sales revenue - variable cost

Variable  admin = 4% × 880,000= 35200

Variable selling = 5× 16,000 = 80,000

Contribution = Sales revenue - cost of goods sold - admin - selling

= 880,000 - 550,000- 35200 - 80,000=214,800

Contribution= $214,800
