%
 Explanation:
3:
Unit contribution margin       = Sales price – Variable cost per unit
                                         = $504  –  $139
                                         = $365 per canoe

Contribution margin ratio     = Unit contribution margin / Sales price
                                        =  $365 / $504
                                        = 72 %
