    Unitary variable cost = $8.08

    Contribution margin = $15.92

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Direct materials $4.98

    Direct labor 2.10

    Variable factory overhead 1.00

    The variable cost per unit is the sum of direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead.

    Unitary variable cost = 4.98 + 2.1 + 1 = $8.08

    The contribution margin per unit is the difference between the selling price and the unitary variable cost:

    Contribution margin = 24 - 8.08 = $15.92
