    Contribution = $214,800

    Explanation:

    Contribution margin ratio is the proportion of sales revenue that is earned as contribution.

    Unit sold = revenue / selling price = 880,000/55 = 16,000 units

    Contribution = Sales revenue - variable cost

    Variable admin = 4% * 880,000 = 35200

    Variable selling = 5 * 16,000 = 80,000

    Contribution = Sales revenue - cost of goods sold - admin - selling

    = 880,000 - 550,000 - 35200 - 80,000=214,800

    Contribution = $214,800
