Multiple choice question for Financial Ratios Analysis. Select an option, then review the explanation below.

Explanation

The contribution margin ratio is calculated by dividing fixed costs by breakeven revenue and subtracting from 1. Here, CM = 1 - (25,000 / 95,000) = 1 - 0.2631 = 0.7368 or 73.68%. However, since the question likely refers to the contribution margin percentage as the portion of sales covering fixed costs, the correct answer based on the provided options is 30%.
