Contribution margin approach to income teaches the management about how much production volume must achieve to at least recover the full cost of production.
A contribution margin income statement is an income statement in which all variable expenses are deducted from sales to arrive at a contribution margin. It is the expanded version.
1. Contribution approach income statement is different from simple income statement in this sense that in contribution margin approach variable costs are deducted from revenues to find out how much any sale of unit of product is contributing towards recovery of fixed cost of product.

Yes, Revenues minus variable costs gives you your contribution margin. Contribution margin minus fixed costs gives you net income.
Sales xxxxLess:Variable cost xxxxContribution margin xxxx (balancing figure)
A contribution margin income statement is an income statement in which all variable expenses are deducted from sales to arrive at a contribution margin. It is the expanded version.
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.

The factors that impact on the contribution margin are expenses and income or revenue. One can improve their own contribution margin by decreasing expenses or increasing their income.

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
Revenues Less: Variable cost Contribution Margin Less: Fixed Cost Net Income
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
