Answer is 2.3%
Total Variable Costs = Manufacturing + Marketing +
Administrative
Total Variable Costs = $115,000 + $22,000 + $42,000
Total Variable Costs = $179,000
Variable Cost per unit = Total Variable Costs / Number of units
produced and sold
Variable Cost per unit = $179,000 / 10,000
Variable Cost per unit = $17.90
Contribution Margin Ratio = (Selling Price per unit - Variable
Cost per unit) / Selling Price per unit
Contribution Margin Ratio = ($18.32 - $17.90) / $18.32
Contribution Margin Ratio = 0.023 or 2.3%
