The impact on contribution margin would be a decrease.

<h3>What is a contribution margin?</h3>

A contribution margin is the price of an item less the variable cost of the item. Variable cost is the cost that varies with the cost of production .

Contribution margin = selling price - variable cost

New contribution margin = $80 - ($41 + $4) = $35
