Kent Manufacturing produces a product that sells for $64.00 and has variable costs of $35.00 per unit. Fixed costs are $348,000. Kent can buy a new production machine that will increase fixed costs by $20,500 per year, but will decrease variable costs by $4.50 per unit.

Required:
Compute the contribution margin per unit if the machine is purchased.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The contribution margin per unit is $33.50

Explanation:

The contribution margin per unit in the case when the machine is purchased is shown below:

= Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

= $64 - ($35 - $4.50)

= $64 - $30.50

=  $33.50

hence, the contribution margin per unit is $33.50 and the same is to be considered

We simply applied the above formula
