Answer 1

Gross profit formula= 3x

x= number of units sold

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable cost= $2

Selling price per unit= $5

To calculate the profit earned, we need to use the unitary contribution margin formula. The contribution margin is a product's price minus all associated variable costs (sales- variable costs), resulting in the incremental profit earned for each unit sold.

Unitary contribution margin= 5 - 2 = 3

Now, the profit formula:

Gross profit formula= number of units*unitary contribution margin

Gross profit formula= 3x

x= number of units sold
