Answer:

A) $205,875

Explanation:

The formula to compute the contribution margin is shown below:

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost

where,

Sales = Number of basketballs sold × selling price per unit

         = 67,500 × $4

        = $270,000

And, the variable cost = Sales commission + manufacturing cost

The sales commission = Sales revenue × commission percentage

                                      = $270,000 × 5%

                                      = $13,500

And, the manufacturing cost equal to

= Number of basket balls sold × price per unit

= 67,500 × $0.75

= $50,625

So, the variable cost equal to

= $13,500 + $50,625

= $64,125

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $270,000 - $64,125

= $205,875
