Contribution margin = 79,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company produces and sells a single product.

Sales (4,300 units) $150,500

Variable expenses 73,100

Contribution margin 77,400

First, we need to determine the selling price and unitary variable expense:

Selling price = 150,500/4,300 = $35

Unitary variable cost = 73,100/4,300 = $17

Now, for 4,400 units:

Sales = (4,400*35) = 154,000

Variable cost = (4,400*17) = (74,800)

Contribution margin = 79,200
