Answer:

b. $22.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Contribution margin per unit= Sales price per unit - variable cost per unit

Since the selling price is $35

And, the contribution margin is 35%

Therefore, the contribution margin per unit would be

= $35 × 35 per cent

= $12.25

Now add these figures in the formula above.

Hence, the value would be equal to

= $35 - $12.25

= $22.75

The inventory and labor costs are included in the variable cost
