Irvin Lutz · Answer 1

The correct answer is D: $13

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cost per Unit Cost per Period:

Direct materials $ 6.20

Direct labor $ 2.80

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.45

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 12,000

Sales commissions $ 1.00

Variable administrative expense $ 0.55

Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 4,000

Price = 25

Contribution margin = Price - variable costs

Variable costs = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + sales commissions + variable administrative expense

Variavle costs = 6.20 + 2.80 + 1.45 + 1 + 0.55 = $12

Contribution margin per unit = 25 - 12 = $13
