Hailey Adams · Answer 1

profit = $1,236

Explanation:

fixed daily costs $876

variable cost per room $13

revenue per room $79

contribution margin per room = $79 - $13 = $66

32 rooms were sold today = $66 x 32 = $2,112

- fixed costs = ($876)

daily profit = $1,236

The contribution margin per unit is the difference between the additional revenue obtained from selling one more unit minus the additional costs of selling that unit.
