Answer: $6.2

Explanation: Contribution margin is the amount of revenue left after paying for the variable cost, it can be formulated as follows : -

contribution = sales - variable cost

In case of Limeade:-

sale price = $22.10

Variable cost = $15.90

so, putting the values into equation we get : -

contribution per foot = $22.10 - $15.9 = $6.2
