Answer 1

Answer:

the total contribution margin is $245,700

Explanation:

The computation of the total contribution margin in the case when the sales volume rise by 40% is shown below:

Since the sales volume is rise so the contribution margin is also rise by 40%

Therefore the total contribution margin would be

= Contribution margin × (1 + increased percentage)

= $175,500 × (1 + 0.40)

= $175,500 × 1.40

= $245,700

Hence, the total contribution margin is $245,700
