Contribution Margin:
The margin of profit which is computed after considering the variable cost only and not the fixed costis known as contribution. In other words, it means the contribution made by selling the product after covering its variable cost to the company.

Managerial Accounting
- Suppose you are analyzing a firm that is successfully executing a strategy that differentiates its products from those of its competitors. Because of this strategy, you project that next year the firm will generate 6.0% revenue growth from price increases and 3.0% revenue growth from sales volume increases. Assume that the firms production cost structure involves strictly variable costs. (That is, the cost to produce each unit of product remains the same.) Should you project that the firms gross profit will increase next year? If you project that the gross profit will increase, is the increase a result of volume growth, price growth, or both? Should you project that the firms gross profit margin (gross profit divided by sales) will increase next year? If you project that the gross profit margin will increase, is the increase a result of volume growth, price growth, or both?arrow_forwardREQUIRED Study the information given below and answer the following questions independently.

Calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit, rounded to nearest dollar, and the new break-even point in units, rounded to the nearest whole unit, for each scenario separately. Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Gordon will dispose of a machine in the factory. The depreciation on that equipment is $500 per month. After some extensive market research, Gordon has determined that a sales price increase of $2 per unit will not affect the sales volume and will be effective immediately. Gordon has been experiencing quality problems with a materials supplier. Changing suppliers will improve the quality of the product but will cause direct materials costs to increase by $1 per unit.
