This month, Herlo Inc. decided to have a special sales event. During this special sales event, Herlo will be selling the Surfer Kit for $400.00\$ 400.00. Assuming that their variable costs remain the same, what is Herlo's contribution margin (\%) during the special sales event? 40\% 35\% 50\% 25\%

Studdy Solution
Determine the contribution margin percentage during the special sales event.
Contribution margin percentage = (Contribution marginSelling price)×100 \left( \frac{\text{Contribution margin}}{\text{Selling price}} \right) \times 100
Contribution margin percentage = (100400)×100=25% \left( \frac{100}{400} \right) \times 100 = 25\%
The contribution margin during the special sales event is:
25% \boxed{25\%}
