Margin (Revenues - Variable Costs) to CRU in 1996. Ignore Labor and Facility Costs in This Calculation. We Assume That They Are Fixed. How Does the Contribution Margin Compare with The Weekly Depreciation? Weekly Revenue=Number of units on Rent × Rental Price=8‚000 × $30 = $240‚000 Weekly Variable Costs = Throughput × Cost=1‚000 × $25 + 1‚000 × $25 + 595 × $4 + 405 × $150 = $113‚130 Weekly Contribution Margin = $240‚000-$113‚130=$126‚870 Weekly Depreciation=(Total Inventory(unit) × Purchase
