Respuesta :

Answer: its total contribution margin should be closest to $ 266,800.

Explanation:

Contribution = (Sales )+  (Variable expenses)

= $180,000+ $81,000

= $261,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution  divided by Sales

= [tex]\dfrac{261000}{180000}[/tex]

= 1.45

Now Contrbution for 4,600 units = [tex]\dfrac{Sales\ for \ 4500\ units\times 4600}{4500}\times 1.45[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{180000\times4600}{4500}\times1.45\\\\\\=266800[/tex]

its total contribution margin should be closest to $ 266,800.
