    Contribution margin = $200,000

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expense

    Number of books = $880,000 : $55

    =16,000

    Gross margin = 340,000

    Variable selling expenses = 16,000 * $6

    =$96,000

    Variable administrative expense = $880,000 * 5%

    =$44,000

    Total = $96,000 + $44,000

    = $140,000

    Contribution margin = $340,000 - $140,000

    = $200,000
