The contribution margin per unit can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Contribution Margin} = \text{Selling Price} - \text{Variable Cost} \]
Given:
- Selling Price per Unit = $497.00
- Variable Cost per Unit = $235.00
Now, plug in the values:
\[ \text{Contribution Margin} = 497.00 - 235.00 = 262.00 \]
So, the contribution margin per unit is $262.00.
