    Contribution per unit is $30 while contribution margin ratio is 40%

    Explanation:

    The contribution margin ration is derived with the below formula:

    contribution margin ratio=margin/sales price

    Margin=selling price-variable cost

    Margin=$75-$45

    Margin=$30

    Contribution margin ratio=$30/$75

    Contribution margin ration=40%

    The contribution determines the to which the company can recover its fixed costs as well as make profits.

    The contribution margin ratio shows margin as a percentage of sales price. A contribution margin ratio of 40% implies that variable cost is 60% of selling price, hence the balance of 40% is available to settle fixed costs and profit
