Question

Wang Co. manufactures and sells a single product that sells for $640 per unit; variable costs are $352 per unit. Annual fixed costs are $985,500. Current sales volume is $4,390,000. Compute the contribution margin ratio.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 45%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Selling price = $640

Variable cost = $352

Annual fixed cost = $985,500

Current sales volume = $4,390,000

So, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio by using following formula:

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

Where, Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= $640 - $352 = $288

So, by putting the value in the formula, we get

Contribution margin ratio = ( $288 ÷ $640 ) × 100

= 0.45 × 100

= 45%
