Requirement (2)(a)
Current Contribution Margin
Current Contribution Margin = Number of units sold x Contribution margin per unit
= 2,500 units x $46 per unit

Revised Contribution margin per unit = Current contribution margin per unit – Increase in variable cost per unit
= $46 per unit - $5 per unit

Revised Contribution Margin = Number of units sold x Contribution margin per unit
= 2,875 units x $41 per unit
