    Contribution margin per unit Footballs $6 per unit, Baseballs $7.2 per unit.

    Baseball.

    Explanation:

    FootBalls:

    Sale Price per unit = Sales / Units

    Sale Price per unit = $60,000 / 4,000 units

    Sale Price per unit = $15 per unit

    Variable Cost per unit = Variable Cost / Units

    Variable Cost per unit = $36,000 / 4,000

    Variable Cost per unit = $9 per unit

    Contribution Margin per unit = Sale Price per unit - Variable Cost per unit

    Contribution Margin per unit = $15 per unit - $9 per unit

    Contribution Margin per unit = $6 per unit

    Baseballs:

    Sale Price per unit = Sales / Units

    Sale Price per unit = $25,000 / 2,500 units

    Sale Price per unit = $10 per unit

    Variable Cost per unit = Variable Cost / Units

    Variable Cost per unit = $7,000 / 2,500

    Variable Cost per unit = $2.8 per unit

    Contribution Margin per unit = Sale Price per unit - Variable Cost per unit

    Contribution Margin per unit = $10 per unit - $2.8 per unit

    Contribution Margin per unit = $7.2 per unit

    Contribution Margin per Unit tells Sandel that which product contribute higher in consuming fixed cost after contributing the variable cost from sales, in order to earn greater profit. Hence, Sandal should tell his people to emphasize on Baseball, as have, higher Contribution Margin per unit.
