Its operating results for last year were as follows: Sales $ 1,080,000 Variable expenses 540,000 Contribution margin 540,000 Fixed expenses 160,000 Net operating income $ 380,000 Required: Answer each question independently based on the original data: 1. What is the product's CM ratio

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

The formula and the computation of the contribution margin ratio is shown below:

Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (selling price per unit) × 100

where,

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit  

= $40 per unit - $20 per unit

= $20 per unit

So, the CM ratio is

= ($20 per unit) ÷ ($40 per unit) × 100

= 50%
