Suppose that Larimer Company sells a product for $20. Unit costs are as follows: Direct materials $2.10 Direct labor 1.25 Variable factory overhead 2.00 Variable selling and administrative expense 1.05 Total fixed factory overhead is $56,590 per year, and total fixed selling and administrative expense is $38,610. Required: 1. Calculate the variable cost per unit and the contribution margin per unit. 2. Calculate the contribution margin ratio and the variable cost ratio.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Contribution Margin 13.6

Contribution Margin Ratio 0.68

Variable Cost ratio 0.32

Explanation:

Sales Price 20

Direct materials 2.10

Direct labor 1.25

Variable factory overhead 2.00

Variable selling and administrative expense 1.05

Total Variable cost 6.4

[tex]Contribution \: per \: unit \times units \: sold = Total \: Contribution \: Margin[/tex]

20 - 6.4 = 13.6 Contribution Margin

[tex]\frac{Contribution \:  Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = $Contribution Margin Ratio[/tex]

13.6/20 = 0.68

[tex]\frac{Variable \:  Cost }{Sales \: Revenue} = $Variable Cost Ratio[/tex]

6.4/20 = 0.32
