Solution

Question - 23

Contribution Margin Ratio = [ Contribution Margin / Sales ] x 100

Contribution Margin = Sales – Total Variable Costs

= $19,50,000 – [ 960,000 + 360,000 ]

= $19,50,000 – 13,20,000

= $630,000

Therefore, Contribution Margin = [ $630,000 / 19,50,000 ] x 100 = 32.3%

Hence, The Answer is “ C. 32.3% “

Question - 24

The Answer is “ C. DM, DL, Variable Manufacturing Overhead and Fixed Manufacturing Overhead

Under Absorption Costing Method , The Product cost includes Direct Materials[DM], Direct Labor [DL], and all the manufacturing Overhead costs including both Variable and Fixed. Whereas under Variable Costing Method, Only the Variable Manufacturing overhead will be considered.

Question - 25

Contribution Margin Under Variable Costing = Sales Revenue – Total Variable costs of goods sold

Sales Revenue = 4,000 x $89 = $356,000

Total Variable Cost = 4,000 x [ $13.00 + 35.00 + 1.00 + 10.00] = $236,000

Therefore, Contribution Margin = $356,000 – 236,000 = $120,000

Hence, The Answer is “ D. $120,000 “
