Explanation / Answer

1
Total Variable Cost = 430,000 + 360,000 + 380,000 + 70,000 + 20,000 = $1,260,000
Total Fixed Costs = 280,000 + 65,000 + 60,000 = $405,000
No. of units sold = Sales / Price per unit = 1,800,000 / 0.5 = 3,600,000
Variable Cost per unit = 1,260,000 / 3,600,000 = $0.35 / unit

Contribution Margin per unit = Sale Price - Variable Cost per unit
= 0.5
