Contribution margin tells the management for important decision that how much a single unit contributing towards recovery of fixed cost.
Activity based costing allocates the overhead costs to activities based on number of activities instead of predetermined rate.
Contribution margin pricing means to follow the contribution margin costing process to allocate price to units or production units.
Contribution margin ratio is overall total contribution margin while contribution margin ration per unit is the allocation of total production contribution margin to per unit basis.
Formula for calculating average Contribution margin Average contribution margin = total contribution margin / total number of units
Contribution margin for per machine hour is as follows:total contribution margin / number of machine hours = contribution margin per hour
Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin / number of units of products Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Net sales The formula is different for both situations because contribution margin per unit calculates the contribution margin for one unit of product while contribution margin ratio calculates the contribution margin for total overall sales as overall sales may be included different mix of products with diff rent fixed and variable costs that's why both of these are calculated separately

Formula for Breakeven point: Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = Sales / contribution margin Contribution margin = sales - variable cost
Under the contribution approach (variable costing), all variable expenses (both manufacturing and non-manufacturing) are deducted first from sales to arrive at contribution margin. Fixed costs (both manufacturing and non manufacturing) are deducted from contribution margin to arrive at net income before taxes. Under traditional approach (absorption costing), all the manufacturing costs (both fixed and variable) are deducted from sales to arrive at gross profit (margin). Non-manufacturing (Selling and administrative) costs are then deducted from gross margin to arrive at net income before taxes.
sales-variable coste= contribution margin
contribution margin = sales - variable cost
The contribution margin ratio increases when?
Formula for contribution margin ratio = Sales
