Final answer:

Green Corporation's contribution margin is $220,000. Frost Company will see a $490,000 increase in operating income with 10,000 more units sold. Stanley's Bicycles' contribution margin would be $150,000 for June.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contribution margin is calculated by subtracting total variable costs from total sales revenues. For Green Corporation, with total sales of $400,000 and variable costs of $180,000, the contribution margin is $220,000 ($400,000 - $180,000). This margin contributes towards covering the fixed costs and generating profit. If Frost Company's contribution margin per unit is $49, then selling 10,000 more items increases the operating income by $490,000 ($49 × 10,000). Stanley's Bicycles, after accounting for the sales commission of 15%, would have a contribution margin of $150,000 for the month of June (200 units sold at $750 each, less the commissions and variable costs).
