Answer:

The firm's contribution margin ratio is 62.5%

Explanation:

Contribution margin is the net of selling price and variable cost. It is the net return available to cover the fixed cost and make profit. Contribution margin ratio is the ratio of contribution margin to sale price.

According to given data

Price = $6

Variable cost = $2.25

Contribution margin = Price - variable cost = $6 - $2.25 = $3.75

Contribution margin ratio = 3.75 / 6 = 0.625 = 62.5%
