Answer :

Answer:

Total Contribution Margin = ($31 * 3,030) = $93,930

Explanation:

Variable Units Cost

Direct Material    $20

Direct Labor        $34

Variable manufacturing cost $6

Variable Selling and Admin cost $4

Total Variable Cost per unit = $64

Contribution Margin = $95 - $64

                                 =$31

To get Total Contribution Margin we take the Contribution per unit multiply with sold units meaning that is the contribution of units sold after deducting variable costs.
