Data and Calculations:

Quantity produced last year =27,120 units

Sales last year = 21,800 units

Products costs for the year:

Direct materials                              $222,384

Direct labor                                        124,752

Manufacturing overhead                208,824

Selling & administrative expenses 128,620

Total variable costs                      $684,580

Fixed manufacturing overhead 461,040

Variable selling and administrative expenses = $128,620

Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $197,976

Computing the Contribution Margin:

Sales for the year =   $915,600

Total variable costs   (684,580)

Contribution margin $231,020

Sales units 21,800

Contribution margin per unit = $10.60 ($231,020/21,800)

Thus, the contribution margin per unit for Krepps was $10.60.
