Answer:

B. $ 28.33

Explanation:

the contribution margin is the amount of revenue remaining to afford the fixed cost and make a gain after paying the entire variable cost wther they are manufacturing, selling or administrative.

sales 470,000 - 130,000 variable cost = 340,000 contribution

contribution / sales = contribution margin

340,000 / 470,000 =  0,7234

The contribution margin express as a ratio represent the cent we keep for each dollar of sale.

We now determinate the sale price per software:

470,000 / 12,000 = 39,17

and calcualte the margin:

39,17 x 0.7234 = 28,335578‬ = $28.33

after variable ost, each unit generates $28.33 dollar of contribution
