Yosef Key · Answer 1

c. 31.4%

Explanation:

As we know that

Contribution margin ratio is

= Contribution margin : Sales revenue * 100

where,

Contribution margin is

= Sales revenue - Variable manufacturing expense - Variable selling and administrative expense

= $1,920,000 - $957,000 - $360,000

= $603,000

And the sales revenue is $1,920,000

So, the ratio is

= $603,000 : $1,920,000 * 100

= 31.40%
