Determine (a) the contribution margin ratio, (b) the unit contribution margin, and (c) income from operations. a. Contribution margin ratio (Enter as a whole number.) % b. Unit contribution margin (Round to the nearest cent.) $ per unit c. Income from operations $

(a) Contribution margin ratio = 0.39, or 39%

(b) the unit contribution margin = $7.4 per unit

(c) income from operations = $164,470

Explanation:

Total revenue = 37,000 * $19 = $703,000

Total variable cost = 37,000 * $11.59 = $428,830

Margin = $703,000 - $428,830 = $274,170

(a) the contribution margin ratio

Contribution margin ratio = $274,170/$703,000 = 0.39, or 39%

(b) the unit contribution margin

Unit contribution margin = $19 - $11.59 = $7.4 per unit

(c) income from operations

Income from operations = $274,170 - $109,700 = $164,470
