Question

Sunland Company reported the following information for the current year: Sales (64000 units) $1280000, direct materials and direct labor $640000, other variable costs $64000, and fixed costs $360000. What is Sunland’s contribution margin ratio?

Answer 1

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Sales unit = 64000

Sales revenue = $1,280,000

Direct materials and directly labor = $640,000

Other variable cost = $64,000

Fixed cost = $360,000

Contribution margin ratio:

(Sales revenue - variable expenses) / sales revenue

Total variable expenses = (Direct materials and directly labor + other variable expenses)

Total variable expenses = (640000 + 64000) = $704,000

Contribution margin ratio :

$(1,280,000 - 704,000) / $1,280,000

$576,000 / $1,280,000

= 0.45

0.45 * 100 = 45%
