What is a good response to this classmates post? For this week's discussion, I will answer: What are the purposes of each margin, and what information do they convey? Contribution margin uses the CPV calculation with C=unit margin, P =unit revenue, and V=unit variable cost. The formula is C=P-V. The contribution margin shows the money each product/unit sold makes after removing the unit variable cost. This can be displayed grossly or per unit (Team, 2024). This margin shows what kind of profit and revenue a particular product can generate after covering the fixed costs. Gross margin is calculated by gross margin = revenue-product cost. Subtracting the direct costs (labor and materials) from the company's revenue will allow the company to see what its gross profit is compared to its revenues as a percentage. The main difference is how the costs are classified by function (product vs. period).
