Answer:
The gross profit for the last month is $237,000
Explanation:
Calculation of contribution margin using variable costing = Sales - variable costs
Sales (150,000 × $8.20) = $1,230,000
- variable manufacturing costs = $280,5000 ( 150,000 units × $1.87)
- variable selling and administrative expenses = $ 712,500 (150,000 units ×$4.75)
= Contribution Margin = $ 237,000
Important. Fixed expenses and overheads are not considered in calculating contribution margin.
Therefore, gross profit for the last month is $237,000
