Answer:
The Contribution Margin Ratio (in %) is 20%
It is given in the question that,
Sales (in units) = 2940 units
Sales Price = $50 per unit
Variable Costs = $40 per unit
Fixed Costs = $11,760
We know that the equation for
Contribution Margin Ratio (in %) = (Total Revenue - Total Variable Cost) ÷ Total Revenue x 100
Total Revenue = Sales in units x Sales Price per unit
= 2940 x 50
=$147,000
Total Variable Cost = Number of Units x Variable Cost per unit
= 2940 x 40
= $117,600
We can substitute these values in the equation,
Contribution Margin Ratio (in %) = (147,000 - 117,600) ÷ 147,000 x 100
= 20%
