Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company plans to sell 3,500 pairs of shoes at $60 each in the coming year. The unit variable cost is $21.

1) We need to use the following formula:

variable cost ratio= Variable cost/ selling price

variable cost ratio= 21/60= 0.35

2) We need to use the following formula:

Contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling price

Contribution margin ratio= (60 - 21) / 60= 0.65
