Answer 1

Answer:

Unitary contribution margin= $12.7

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials $ 7.20

Direct labor $ 4.50

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.25

Sales commissions $ 1.30

Variable administrative expense $ 0.55

Selling price is $27.50 per unit

The contribution margin per unit is the deduction of all the unitary variable costs from the selling price.

Total unitary variable cost= 7.2 + 4.5 + 1.25 + 1.3 + 0.55= $14.8

Unitary contribution margin= 27.5 - 14.8

Unitary contribution margin= $12.7
