Respuesta :

Answer:

The Unit CM will be 23.15

The total contribution will be 152,790

Explanation:

[tex]Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin[/tex]

42.40  Sales Revenue

(19.25) Variable cost

23.15   Contribution Margin  per unit

This is the amount per unit after paying the variable cost.

[tex]Contribution \: per \: unit \times units \: sold = Total \: Contribution \: Margin[/tex]

[tex]23.15 \times 6,600 = 152.790[/tex]

This will be the complete contribution generated for the product. It will be used to pay the fixed cost and the remainder will be operating gains.
