Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a company sells 1,000 units at a selling price of $25 per unit and variable costs of $15 per unit, what is the total contribution?
  • Step 1: Identify the selling price per unit, which is $25.
  • Step 2: Identify the variable cost per unit, which is $15.
  • Step 3: Calculate the contribution per unit by subtracting the variable cost from the selling price: $25 - $15.
  • Step 4: The contribution per unit is $10.
  • Step 5: Identify the total number of units sold, which is 1,000.
  • Step 6: Calculate the total contribution by multiplying the contribution per unit by the number of units: $10 * 1,000.
  • Step 7: The total contribution is $10,000.
  • Contribution Margin – The contribution margin is the difference between the selling price per unit and the variable cost per unit, which contributes to covering fixed costs and generating profit.
  • Total Contribution Calculation – Total contribution is calculated by multiplying the contribution margin by the number of units sold.
