Answer:
(a) $40
(b) $24,000
(c) 40%
Explanation:
Given that,
Selling price = $100 per unit
Variable costs = $60 per unit
Fixed costs = $2,500 per month
Contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price - Variable costs
= $100 per unit - $60 per unit
= $40
Total Contribution margin:
= Contribution margin per unit × No. of units sold
= $40 × 600 units
= $24,000
Contribution margin ratio:
= (Selling price - Variable costs) ÷ Selling price
= ($100 per unit - $60 per unit) ÷ $100 per unit
= 0.4 or 40 %
