    E plc operates a marginal costing system. For the forthcoming year, variable costs are budgeted to be 60% of sales value and fixed costs are budgeted to be 30% of sales value.

    If E plc increases its selling prices by 10%, and if fixed costs, variable costs per unit and sales volume remain unchanged, the effect on E plc’s contribution would be:

    A . a decrease of 6%
    B . an increase of 10%
    C . an increase of 25%
    D . an increase of 100%

    I was work it out of this answer, is it correct?
    Before;
    Sales price 100
    Variable cost 60
    ——-
    Contribution 40
    ——–

    After;
    Sales price 110
    Variable cost 60
    ———
    Contribution 50
    ———
    B .The increase in contribution from 40 to 50 is an increase 10%.

    An increase from 40 to 50 is a 25% increase:

    40 x 1.25 = 50
