Solution

The contribution margin per unit is calculated by subtracting the variable cost per unit from the selling price per unit. In this case, the selling price per unit is 150andthevariablecostperunitis150 and the variable cost per unit is 90.

So, the contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit = 150150 - 90 = $60

The total contribution margin is then calculated by multiplying the contribution margin per unit by the total number of units sold. The company expects to sell 800 units this year.

So, the total contribution margin = Contribution margin per unit * Total units sold = 60800=60 * 800 = 48,000

Therefore, the contribution margin in total dollars is $48,000.
