    The correct answer is D: 41%

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Bundles of cedar shakes produced and sold 257,000

    Sales revenue $ 2,081,700

    Variable manufacturing expense $ 974,700

    Fixed manufacturing expense $ 503,000

    Variable selling and administrative expense $ 259,700

    Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 289,000

    Contribution margin ratio = (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling

    price

    Selling price = sales / units sold = 2081700/257000 = $8.1

    Total variable cost = Variable manufacturing expense + Variable selling and administrative expense = 974,700 + 259,700 = $1,234,400

    Unitary variable cost = 1,234,400/257000 = 4.80

    Contribution margin ratio = (8.1 - 4.80) / 8.1 = 0.407 = 40.7%=41%
