Answer 1

Answer:

D. 76.6 %

Explanation:

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100

First Calculate the Contribution

Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs

                     = (60,000 units × $ 12.40) -  ($110,000+$30,000+$34,000)

                     = $744,000 - $174,000

                     = $570,000

Then Calculate Contribution Margin Ratio

Contribution Margin Ratio = $570,000 / $744,000 × 100

                                           = 76.61290

                                           = 76.6 % ( 1 decimal)
