Detailed explanation-1: -The contribution margin can be stated on a gross or per-unit basis. It represents the incremental money generated for each product/unit sold after deducting the variable portion of the firm’s costs. The contribution margin is computed as the selling price per unit, minus the variable cost per unit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The contribution margin per unit is the price at which a unit must be sold for the company to break even. The statement is FALSE. A product’s contribution margin is the difference between its selling price per unit and its variable cost.
Detailed explanation-3: -The formula to calculate contribution margin: Contribution margin 1 = Sales – Cost of goods sold. Contribution margin 2 = Contribution margin 1 –Logistics and similar variable costs. Contribution margin 3 = Contribution margin 2 – Sales & Marketing costs. Each of the above can also be expressed as a % of sales.
