  2. Explanation

    Step1: Calculate total contribution margin

    $\text{Contribution Margin} = \text{Sales} - \text{Variable Expenses} = 172000 - 135880 = 36120$

    Step2: Compute CM ratio

    $\text{CM Ratio} = \frac{\text{Contribution Margin}}{\text{Sales}} \times 100 = \frac{36120}{172000} \times 100 = 21\%$

    Step3: Compute variable expense ratio

    $\text{Variable Expense Ratio} = \frac{\text{Variable Expenses}}{\text{Sales}} \times 100 = \frac{135880}{172000} \times 100 = 79\%$

  3. Final answer
    1. Contribution margin ratio: 21%
    2. Variable expense ratio: 79%

Explanation

Step1: Calculate total contribution margin

$\text{Contribution Margin} = \text{Sales} - \text{Variable Expenses} = 172000 - 135880 = 36120$

Step2: Compute CM ratio

$\text{CM Ratio} = \frac{\text{Contribution Margin}}{\text{Sales}} \times 100 = \frac{36120}{172000} \times 100 = 21\%$

Step3: Compute variable expense ratio

$\text{Variable Expense Ratio} = \frac{\text{Variable Expenses}}{\text{Sales}} \times 100 = \frac{135880}{172000} \times 100 = 79\%$

Answer

  1. Contribution margin ratio: 21%
