Explanation / Answer

Carr Company produces a single product. During the past year, Carr manufactured 34,250 units and sold 28,400 units. Production costs for the year were as follows:

The contribution margin per unit would be: Sales - variable Cost

Sales = 1434200/ 28400 = $ 50.50

Variable Production cost = (256875 + 140425 + 284275)/34250 = $ 19.90

Variable Selling Expenses = 167560/28400 = $ 5.90

The contribution margin per unit would be: 50.50 - 19.90 - 5.90 = $ 24.70

  Fixed manufacturing overhead $650,750   Variable manufacturing overhead $256,875   Direct labor $140,425   Direct materials $284,275
