Answer:

d. 52% and $11 per unit

Explanation:

Units sold (n) = 25,000

Selling price (P) = $21

Sales Revenue (S) = $21 x 25,000 = $525,000

Variable costs per unit (VCu) = $10

Total Variable costs = $10 x 25,000 = $250,000

Fixed costs (FC) = $75,000

The contribution margin ratio (CMR) is defined as:

[tex]CMR =\frac{S- VC}{S}\\CMR =\frac{525,000- 250,000}{525,000}\\CMR = 52\%[/tex]

The unit contribution margin (UCM) is the difference between the sales contribution per unit (P) and the variable cost per unit (VCu)

[tex]UCM = P- VC_u\\UCM=21-10\\UCM=\$ 11[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is alternative d. 52% and $11 per unit
