Instructions

(a) Determine the contribution margin in dollars, per unit and as a ratio.

E6-5 Carey Company had sales in 2016 of $1,560,000 on 60,000 units. Variable costs

totaled $900,000, and fixed costs totaled $500,000.

A new raw material is available that will decrease the variable costs per unit by 20%

(or $3). However, to process the new raw material, fixed operating costs will increase by $100,000. Management feels that one-half of the decline in the variable costs per unit should be passed on to customers in the form of a sales price reduction. The marketing department expects that this sales price reduction will result in a 5% increase in the number of units sold.
