Answer :

Answer:

the total variable cost is $1,500,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total variable cost is shown below:

As we know that

Contribution margin ratio  = Contribution margin ÷ Sales

So,

40% = $1,000,000 ÷ Sales

So,

Sales = $1,000,000 ÷40%

= $2,500,000

Now

 Variable cost = Sales - Contribution margin

= $2,500,000 - $1,000,000

= $1,500, 000

Hence, the variable cost is $1,500,000
