    Contribution Margin “is a cost accounting concept that allows a company to determine the profitability of individual products” (Investopedia, 2013). In order to determine the contribution margin, one must take the revenues and subtract it from the variable cost which would look like this: Revenues – Variable Cost. “Fixed costs are costs that do not vary in total when activity levels (or volume) of operations change. A good example of a fixed cost is rent expense. Rent would not vary whether the home was almost full or almost empty; thus, rent is a fixed cost” (Baker, 2011). “Variable costs, on the other hand, are costs that vary in direct proportion to changes in activity levels (or volume) of operations. A good example of a variable cost is food for the group home residents. Food would vary directly, depending on the number of individuals in residence; thus, food is a variable cost” (Baker, 2011).…
