Calculation of average service revenue per customer, average variable cost per customer, and, average contribution margin per customer (1). 

Particulars

Abe (50 tables and 4 Chairs)

Brett (110 tables and 6 Chairs)

Corrin (90 tables and 8 Chairs)

Sales price

($1,400x50+$50x4) =$70,200

($1,400x110+$50x6) =$154,300

($1,400x90+$50x8) =$126,400

Variable cost

($1,148x50+$21x4) =$57,484

($1,148x110+$21x6) =$126,406

($1,148x90+$21x8) =$103,488

Contribution Margin

$12,716

$27,894

$22,912

Contribution margin ratio (Contribution margin/Sales)

$12,716/$70,200 =18.11%

$27,894/$154,300 =18.08%
