Fixed: $260,000
Selling and administrative costs:
Variable: $1 per unit

a. None of the answers is correct.
b. $166,500.
c. $97,500.
d. $370,000.
e. $147,000.

B. $166,500

Explanation:

Given the above information, we'll calculate fixed cost per unit.

Fixed cost per unit

= $260,000 ÷ 40,000 units

= $6.5 per unit

Then,

Sales per units

= Variable cost per unit - Fixed costs per units

= $15 - $4 - $6.5

= $4.5

Contribution margin

= $4.5 × 37,000

= $166,500

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.

the correct answer is b.)
