Answer:
$7
Explanation:
Given: Sales volume= 1000 units.
Sales= $20000.
Variable expense= $13000.
Contribution margin= $7000.
Fixed expense= $3780
Net operating income= $3220.
Now, finding the contribution margin per unit.
Formula; Contribution margin per unit= [tex]\frac{(sales- variable\ expense)}{Number\ of\ sales\ units}[/tex]
⇒ Contribution margin per unit= [tex]\frac{(20000-13000)}{1000}[/tex]
⇒ Contribution margin per unit= [tex]\frac{7000}{1000}[/tex]
∴ Contribution margin per unit= [tex]\$ 7[/tex]
Hence, $7 is the contribution margin per unit.
