Answer is 84%
Selling Price per unit = $95.00
Variable Cost per unit = $5.00
Fixed Costs = $100,000
Unit Sales = 10,000
Sales = Selling Price per unit * Unit Sales
Sales = $95.00 * 10,000
Sales = $950,000
Variable Costs = Variable Cost per unit * Unit Sales
Variable Costs = $5.00 * 10,000
Variable Costs = $50,000
Income from Operation = Sales - Variable Costs - Fixed
Costs
Income from Operation = $950,000 - $50,000 - $100,000
Income from Operation = $800,000
Margin on Sales = Income from Operation / Sales
Margin on Sales = $800,000 / $950,000
Margin on Sales = 0.84 or 84%
