Explanation / Answer

Answer

Contribution margin = Sales Revenue – All Variable costs

= 1500000 – 675000 (Variable manufacturing cost) – 120000(Variable selling & admin expenses)

= 1500000 – 675000 – 120000 = $ 705,000 = Contribution margin.

= ( $ 705,000 / $ 1,500,000) x 100

= 0.47 x 100

                = 47% = Contribution margin ratio.
