    D. $45,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the contribution margin for the Orlando store is

    = Total sales * contribution margin percentage - Gainesville sales * contribution margin percentage

    = $250,000 * 32% - $100,000 * 35%

    = $80,000 - $35,000

    = $45,000

    Contribution margin is come from deducting Gainesville contribution margin from the total contribution margin
