Required: (a) What is the Contribution Margin? (1 mark) (b) How many candles does Mary need to sell to break-even for the year? (2 marks) (c) Mary would like to supplement her full-time salary by an additional $150 per week. How many additional candles does she need to sell to achieve this over the year ( 52 weeks)? ( 3 marks) (d) Due to an increase in variable costs by $5 and fixed costs by 50% per month. Mary is considering increasing the selling price to make up for the increasing costs.
