    Answer: c. Contribution margin ratio = 1 - Variable cost ratio

    Explanation:

    The Contribution margin ratio is defined as the difference between the sales price of a good and it's variable costs. It is expressed as a percentage.

    The formula is,

    Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales - Variable Costs / Sales

    Breaking the formula down further we have,

    Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales / Sales - Variable Costs / Sales

    Contribution Margin Ratio = 1 - Variable Costs / Sales

    Variable Cost/Sales is the Variable Cost Ratio.

    So Option C is correct.
