Explanation / Answer

Variable cost (Selling and admin) - $10* 10000 units = $ 100000

Variable cost (Production) - $40* 10000 units = $ 400000

Total variable cost - ( 100000+400000) = 500000

Proportion of variable cost ( Production) = ($400000/$500000) * 100 = 80%

Total sales = 10000 units * $8 = $800000

Less variable cost = $50 * 10000 units = $500000

Contribution = $ 800000 - $500000 = $300000

Contribution( manufacturing margin) = Total contribution*Proportion of variable cost ( production)

= $300000* 80% = $240000
