Solutions

Expert Solution

(a)-Total Contribution Margin

Total Contribution Margin = Number of units sold x Contribution Margin per unit

Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit – Variable cost per unit

= $50 – [$20 + $15 + $10]

= $50 - $45

= $5 per unit

Therefore, Total Contribution Margin = Number of units sold x Contribution Margin per unit

= 17,000 Units x $5 per unit

= $85,000

“Total Contribution Margin = $85,000”

(b)- Unit Contribution Margin

Unit Contribution Margin = Selling Price per unit – Variable cost per unit

= $50 – [$20 + $15 + $10]

= $50 - $45

= $5 per unit

“Unit Contribution Margin = $5 per unit”

(c)-Contribution Margin Ratio

Contribution Margin Ratio = (Contribution Margin per unit / Selling Price per unit) x 100

= ($5 / $50) x 100

= 10%

“Contribution Margin Ratio = 10%”

(d)- Increase in Profit If the sales increase by 5,000 units

Increase in Profit = Increase in number of unit x Contribution margin per unit

= 5,000 Units x $5 per unit

= $25,000

“Increase in Profits = $25,000”
