What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company?

Answer 1

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

Given that,

Total Sales = $174,000

Total Variable expenses = $43,500

Total contribution margin = $130,500

Total fixed expenses = $86,175

Net operating income = $44,325

Overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company:

= (Total contribution margin ÷ Total sales) × 100

= ($130,500 ÷ $174,000) × 100

= 0.75 × 100

= 75%
