    Help with calculating cm per unit
    Zeitgeist Company manufactures silicon sleeves for MP3 players. In August 2011, Zeitgeist began producing the colorful sleeves. During the month of August, 16,000 were produced, and 14,750 were sold at $6.95 each.
    Sales commission was 8% of sales
    Direct Materials $ 26,880
    Direct labor $ 6720
    Variable overhead $ 5920
    Fixed overhead $ 28,160


    What is the contribution margin per unit? Round to the nearest cent

    I have tried everything...
    formula I've been using to try and figure it out is cm/unit=sales price/unit - vc/unit
    6.95-2.98... ive tried 6.95-2.47 and many others... help, please!

    Unit sales price 6.95
    Variable mfg costs
    DM 26880
    DL 6720
    VOH 5920
    Total 39520
    Unit cost 39520/16000= (2.47)
    Sales commission 8% = (0.556)
    Contribution = 3.924
