    The contribution margin for the year is $463,200.

    Explanation:

    Contribution margin is the amount by which sales revenue exceeds variable costs. Variable costs are more tied to the development of the product and is greatly affected by the number of products sold. Examples of variable costs are labor and materials.

    Sales revenue

    40,000 units * $ 14.43 = $577,200

    Variable costs

    $114,000

    Contribution margin

    $577,200 - $114,000 = $463,200
