Question

A tile manufacturer has supplied the following data: Boxes of tiles produced and sold 520,000 Sales revenue $ 2,132,000 Variable manufacturing expense $ 650,000 Fixed manufacturing expense $ 464,000 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 260,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 312,000 Net operating income $ 446,000 What is the company's unit contribution margin

Answer 1

Answer:

unitary contribution margin= $2.52

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:

Total variable cost= Variable manufacturing expense + Variable selling and administrative expense

Total variable cost= 560,000 + 260,000

Total variable cost= $820,000

Now, the unitary variable cost and the selling price:

unitary variable cost= 820,000 / 520,000= $1.58

Selling price= 2,132,000 / 520,000= $4.1

Finally, the unitary contribution margin:

unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

unitary contribution margin= 4.1 - 1.58

unitary contribution margin= $2.52
