Expert Solution
Step 1: Answer

Answer to the fallowing above three parts a)Contribution Margin Ratio: 32%

b)Unit Contribution Margin: 15.04

c)Income from Operations: $148,900

For finding the contribution margin ratio
First let us know the formula & calculations
Fixed cost is $76,700
Variable cost per unit is $31.96
Selling per unit is $47
Total sale units 15000
 
Detailed explanation:

A) Computation of Contribution Margin Ratio:

 

Step 1: Compute the unit contribution margin .

 

Selling Price per Unit $47
Less: Variable Cost per Unit (31.96)
Unit Contribution Margin $15.04

 

Step 2: Compute the contribution margin ratio.

Contribution Margin / Selling Price per Unit = Contribution Margin Ratio

 

$15.04 / $47 = 0.32 or 32%

 

B) Unit Contribution Margin:

Selling Price per Unit - Variable Costs per Unit = Unit Contribution Margin

 

Selling Price per Unit $47
Less: Variable Cost per Unit (31.96)
Unit Contribution Margin $15.04

 

C) Income from Operations:

 

Contribution Margin ($15.04 x 15,000 units) $225,600
Less: Fixed Costs (76,700)
Income from Operations $148,900
