A proposed project has fixed costs of $15,000, depreciation expense of $2,200, a sales quantity of 700, and EBIT of $1,580. What is the contribution margin per unit?
EBIT = (Contribution Margin per Unit × Total Units) – Fixed Costs
here fixed costs include all type of costs which are fixed in nature. depreciation is also a fixed cost. so it will also be included in the above formula.
$1,580 = (Contribution Margin per Unit*700) - ($15,000 + $2,200)
$1,580 = (Contribution Margin per Unit*700) - $17,200
$1,580 + $17,200 = Contribution Margin per Unit*700
$18,780 = Contribution Margin per Unit*700
Contribution Margin per Unit = $18,780/700 = $26.83
