Answer 1

Option D is correct ($201,400)

Step-by-step explanation:

Option D is correct ($201,400)

Contribution margin:

It is the difference in the selling price per unit and all the variable costs per unit.

Contribution margin= Selling price per unit- Variable cost per unit

In our case:

Total units=3,600

Total selling price=$ 334,800

Selling price of one unit=Total selling price/Total units

Selling price of one unit=
`(334800)/(3600)=93`

Total variable cost=$144,000

Variable Cost Per unit=Total variable cost/Total units

Variable Cost Per unit=
`(144000)/(3600)=40`

Contribution margin= Selling price per unit- Variable cost per unit

Contribution margin= 93-40

Contribution margin= 53

If the company sells 3,800 units:

Total Contribution margin= 53*3,800

Total Contribution margin= $201,400
