To calculate the contribution margin, we need to subtract the variable costs from the selling price. The variable costs per monitor are the sum of insurance, labor cost, and sales commissions, which is $6 + $15 + $19 = $40. Therefore, the contribution margin per monitor is $105 - $40 = $65.To calculate the contribution ratio, we divide the contribution margin by the selling price and multiply by 100 to get a percentage. So, the contribution ratio is ($65 / $105) * 100 = 61.90%.
