    Contribution margin per unit = $18.55

    Explanation:

    Contribution margin = Net sales value - Variable cost per unit.

    Variable cost per unit will be same as that of average variable cost, as is completely proportional to number of units.

    Variable cost is 100% avoidable for the units not produced.

    Thus,

    Total Variable cost per unit shall be:

    Direct material = $5.50

    Direct Labor = $3.95

    Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.95

    Sales Commission = $1.20

    Variable administrative expense = $0.85

    Total variable cost = $13.45

    Selling price per unit = $32.00

    Therefore, contribution margin per unit = $32 - $13.45 = $18.55
