    Option D 10,386

    Explanation:

    The contribution is the amount left from sales after paying the variable cost. In this case we are given with this value so we don't have to calcualte for it.

    To get for the contribution margin we will consider the actual values over the budget.

    3,800 Calmine pounds x 2 dollar of contribution per pound = 7,600

    3,980 Capity pounds x 0.70 dollars per pound = 2,786

    Total: 7,600 + 2,786 = 10,386
