Answer:

a. $10

b. $8 per unit

c. 44.44%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:-

First we need to find out the Variable cost and contribution margin

Sales $810,000

(45,000 × 18)

Less: Variable cost $450,000

Contribution margin $360,000

Less: Fixed cost $62,000

Operating income $298,000

a. Variable cost per unit

Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost ÷ Total number of units

= $450,000 ÷ 45,000

= $10

b. . Unit contribution margin

= (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit)

= $18 - $10

= $8 per unit

c. Contribution margin ratio

= (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit × 100

= ($18 - $10) ÷ $18

= 44.44%
