Kogler Corporation's relevant range of activity is 7,000 units to 11,000 units. When it produces and sells 9,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 5.15 Direct labor $ 5.30 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.95 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 8.00 Fixed selling expense $ 3.75 Fixed administrative expense $ 1.40 Sales commissions $ 0.60 Variable administrative expense $ 0.55 If the selling price is $26.00 per unit, the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:

$12.45

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:

First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit using this formula

Variable cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + Sales commissions per unit + Variable administrative expense per unit

Let plug in the formula

Variable cost per unit = $5.15 + $5.30 + $1.95 + $0.60 + $0.55

Variable cost per unit = $13.55

Now let determine the Contribution margin per unit using this formula

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Let plug in the formula

Contribution margin per unit = $26.00 - $13.55

Contribution margin per unit = $12.45

Therefore the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:$12.45

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
