Less: Variable costs

Plastic for casting                                  127,400

Wages                                                     423,150

Drum Stand                                             168,350

Variable selling                                        118,300

Contribution                                          550,550

Less: Fixed costs                            

Taxes on factory                                    9,500

Maintenance                                           19,000

Contribution margin per unit can be calculated as,

Contribution margin / unit = Total contribution / Number of units

Contribution Margin / unit = 550,550 / 4550 = $121/unit

Contribution margin % = 121/305 = 39.6%
