contribution margin for this company

solution

we know sale is 11500 unit at @ $77.00 per unit

so total sale price is = 11500 × 77 = $885500     1

total cost of variable production cost for 11500 unit =  11500 × 39.70

total cost of variable production cost = $456550     2

and

total variable selling and administrative cost is  = 11500 × 9.70

total variable selling and administrative cost = $111550     3
