Skyler Campos · Answer 1

Contribution margin per unit = $14.9

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable costs:

Direct materials = $5

Direct labor = $3.45

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.45

Sales commissions = $1.35

Variable administrative expense = $0.85

Total variable cost = $12.1

The selling price is $27.00 per unit

The contribution margin is the result of deducting from the selling price all the unitary variable costs.

Contribution margin per unit = 27 - 12.1

Contribution margin per unit = $14.9
