The wholesale price for Captain John’s is $1.00 per loaf, and the variable cost of production is $0.50 per loaf.

A. $25,000 B. $250,000 C. $550,000 D. none of these
Contribution margin = wholesale price − variable cost = $1.00 − $0.50 = $0.50 per loaf. The additional 5 million loaves would therefore generate an increase of $0.50 per loaf times 5 million loaves = $2,500,000 in revenues minus expenses each year
