Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the given information
The unit contribution margin is \( \$220 \), and the contribution margin ratio is \( 50\% \).
Step 2: Recall the formula for the contribution margin ratio
The contribution margin ratio is calculated as:
\[
\text{Contribution Margin Ratio} = \frac{\text{Unit Contribution Margin}}{\text{Unit Selling Price}}
\]
Step 3: Solve for the unit selling price
Rearrange the formula to solve for the unit selling price:
\[
\text{Unit Selling Price} = \frac{\text{Unit Contribution Margin}}{\text{Contribution Margin Ratio}}
\]
Substitute the given values:
\[
\text{Unit Selling Price} = \frac{220}{0.50} = 440
\]
