Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (3,800 units) $ 95,000

Variable expenses 38,000

First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost.

Selling price= 95,000/3,800= $25

Unitary variable cost= 38,000/3,800= $10

Now, we can calculate the total contribution margin for 3,900 units:

Sales= 25*3,900= 97,500

Variable cost= 10*3,900= (39,000)

Contribution margin= 58,500
