a. Contribution Margin = $21,200

Explanation:

Contribution margin = Sales Value - Variable Expenses

Here it is provided that

Sales for Jones = $40,000

Less: Variable Expenses

Cost of goods sols = ($4,800)

Variable Promotion costs = ($8,000)

Variable Sales Commission = ($6,000)

Net Variable Expenses = ($18,800)

Contribution Margin = $40,000 - $18,800 = $21,200
