7. What is the total contribution margin?
1 | Total manufacturing overhead cost: $42840 |
Direct labor = $18360 = 30% of total conversion cost | |
Total conversion cost = $18360 / 30% = $61200 | |
Total conversion cost = Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead | |
Manufacturing overhead = Total conversion cost - Direct labor = $61200 - $18360 = $42840 | |
2 | Total direct materials cost: $27540 |
Direct labor = $18360 = 40% of total prime cost | |
Total prime cost = $18360 / 40% = $45900 | |
Total prime cost = Direct material + Direct labor | |
Direct material = Total prime cost - Direct labor = $45900 - $18360 = $27540 | |
3 | Total manufacturing cost: $88740 |
Total manufacturing cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead = $27540 + $18360 + $42840 = $88740 | |
4 | Total variable selling and administrative cost: $7650 |
Variable selling and administrative cost = Sales commission = 5% x $153000 = $7650 | |
5 | Total variable cost: $53550 |
Total variable cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Sales commission = $27540 + $18360 + $7650 = $53550 | |
6 | Total fixed cost: $58140 |
Total fixed cost = Manufacturing overheads + Fixed selling and administrative expense | |
Fixed selling and administrative expense = Total selling and administrative expense - Sales commission = $22950 - $7650 = $15300 | |
Total fixed cost = $42840 + $15300 = $58140 | |
7 | Total contribution margin: $99450 |
Total contribution margin = Sales - Total variable cost = $153000 - $53550 = $99450 |
