Sales per unit = $98430/19300 units = $      5.10
Variable cost per unit = $44390/19300 units = $      2.30
Contribution margin per unit = $      2.80
a. Flexible - Budget Operating Income = $                         33,480
Number of units = 18600
Sales = $5.10 X 18600 units = $ 94,860
Less: Variable cost = $2.30 X 18600 units = $ 42,780
Contribution margin = = $ 52,080
Less: Fixed cost = = $ 18,600
Flexible - Budget Operating Income = = $ 33,480
b. Flexible - Budget Variance in terms of contribution margin =                                   920 Favorable
