    Correct answer is B, $2,500

    Explanation:

    To get profit, First, deduct variable cost from sales for the period to get the contribution margin. Finally, Deduct fixed cost from contibution margin to get the profit for the period.

    Computation would be:

    Sales (1,000 x 7) $7,000

    Less: Variable cost (1,000 x 3) $3,000

    Contribution margin $4,000

    Less: Fixed cost (1,000 x 1.5) $1,500

    Profit $2,500

    *It can also be done by deducting variable cost from the selling price to get the unit contribution margin then deduct the fixed cost from the unit contribution margin and from it multiply the output sold to get the profit.
