Accounting homework question answer, step 1, image 1

 

Note :1.Contribution margin ratio

Contribution margin / sales*100

2.to compute the west cost sales 

Then (1590*350+1590*300)=1033500

West cost variable cost of goods sold

(1590*130+1590*138)=426120

West cost variable selling price

(1590*143+1590*84)=360930

West cost contribution margin is the difference between the manufacturing margin -variable selling expense (607380-360930)=246450

Contribution margin ratio is 23.84%

(247450/1033500*100)
