a. Contribution margin ratio (Enter as a whole number.) ______ %
b. Unit contribution margin (Round to the nearest cent.) $_______ per unit
c. Operating income $______

Answer 1

a. 0.34 or 34 %

b. $11.22

c. $134,680

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit Contribution Margin = Sales per unit - Variable Costs per unit

= $33.00 - $21.78

= $11.22

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $11.22 ÷ $33.00

= 0.34

Operating Income = Contribution - Fixed Cost

= ($11.22 x 24,000 units) - $134,600

= $134,680
