Answer:

$534,600

Explanation:

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Costs

where :

Sales = 2,700 units x $664 = $1,792,800

Variable Costs = Costs of Goods Sold + Variable Selling Costs + Variable Administrative Cots

                        = 2,700 units x $405 + 2,700 units x $48 + 2,700 units x $13

                        = $1,258,200

therefore,

Contribution margin = $1,792,800 - $1,258,200 = $534,600
