Answer: $2,122,900
Explanation:
In calculating the Contribution Margin for a good we take the Variable Expenses and subtract it from the Sales Price. The amount left is known as the Contribution Margin.
In the above question, the variable expenses are,
-Cost of goods sold of $317 per unit.
- Variable selling expenses of $44 per unit.
- Variable administrative expenses of $22 per unit.
There were reported sales of 7,100 units so the Variable costs are,
= (317 * 7,100) + (44*7,100) + (22*7,100)
= 2,250,700 + 312,400 + 156,200
= $2,719,300
Now subtracting the Variable costs from Sales we have,
= (682 * 7,100) - 2,719,300
= $2,122,900
The Contribution Margin is $2,122,900 so option 2 is correct.
