    Managerial accounting help ? Help... not do it for me
    You sell books to college students at a regular price of $80. Your financial results for 2009 are summarized in the following contribution margin statement:
    2009
    Sales volume (#units) 90
    Revenue $7,200
    Variable costs $2,700
    Contribution margin $4,500
    Fixed costs $1,450
    Profit $3,050
    Special order: You have been approached by a client who wants to buy 40 units at a discounted price of $45 per unit. You have enough spare capacity to fulfill this special order without cutting back on your regular business (90 units at $80).

    Total revenue=$ 9000
    Total VC=$
    Total CM= $
    Total FC= $ 1450
    Profit = $

    I figured out total revenue and fixed costs but I can NOT figure out Total VC because they do not tell you the variable cost per unit? I need to figure out total variable costs in order to figure everything else out

    You can assume that the variable costs for this special 40-unit order will be the same as it is for the regular 2009 operations.

    From the 2009 data you're given that total variable costs were $2,700 as a result of 90 units. From this you can immediately derive the variable cost per unit, and then apply same to this special order.
