a. Sales - variable cost of goods sold = manufacturing margin; Manufacturing margin - variable expenses* = contribution margin
*Variable expenses = Dealer commissions, variable promotion expenses, variable selling expenses
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, divide the contribution margin by sales.
