(a) $3.48 per unit

(b) 64.2%

Explanation:

(a) Anthony's contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $5.42 - $1.94

= $3.48 per unit

Therefore, the Anthony's contribution margin per unit is $3.48 per unit.

(b) Anthony's contribution margin ratio:

= (Contribution Margin Per unit : Selling Price per unit) * 100

= ($3.48 per unit : $5.42 per unit) * 100

= 0.6420 * 100

= 64.20%

Therefore, the Anthony's contribution margin ratio is 64.2%.
