    Contribution margin per unit = $4.48

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    During August, 16,000 were produced, and 14,750 were sold at $6.95 each. The following costs were incurred: Direct materials $26,880 Direct labor 6,720 Variable overhead 5,920 Fixed overhead 28,160

    Unitary costs:

    Direct material = 26,880/16,000 = 1.68

    Direct labor = 6,720/16000 = 0.42

    Variable overhead = 5,920/16,000 = 0.37

    Unitary variable cost = $2.47

    Contribution margin per unit = 6.95 - 2.47 = 4.48
