Answer:

The gross profit for the last month is $237,000

Explanation:

Calculation of contribution margin using variable costing = Sales - variable costs

Sales (150,000 × $8.20) = $1,230,000

- variable manufacturing costs = $280,5000 ( 150,000 units × $1.87)

- variable selling and administrative expenses = $ 712,500 (150,000 units ×$4.75)

= Contribution Margin = $ 237,000

Important. Fixed expenses and overheads are not considered in calculating contribution margin.

Therefore, gross profit for the last month is $237,000
