    Contribution Margin is 51.875%

    Explanation:

    Contribution Margin = Contribution/Selling Price * 100

    Contribution

    Contribution = Selling Price / unit - Variable Costs / Unit

    Selling Price $80.00

    Less Variable Costs

    Raw Materials ($25.00)

    Direct Labour (45mins/60mins*$18) ($13.50)

    Contribution ($41.50)

    Contribution Margin

    $41.50/$80.00*100=51.875%
