a. $4.20 per unit
b. $0.45 per unit
c. $1.90 per unit
d. $2.10 per unit

d. $2.10 per unit

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the company's unit contribution margin

First step is to calculate the Variable cost using this formula

Variable cost = Variable Manufacturing Expenses + Variable Selling & Administrative Expenses

Let plug in the formula

Variable cost = $297,000 + $165,000

Variable cost = $462,000

Second step is to calculate Total Contributiom Margin using this formula

Total Contributiom Margin=Sales – Variable Cost

Let plug in the formula

Total Contributiom Margin= $924,000 - $462,000

Total Contributiom Margin= $462,000

Now let calculate Unit Contribution Margin using this formula

Unit Contribution Margin= Total Contribution Margin/Total number produced and sold cement

Let plug in the formula

Unit Contribution Margin = $462,000 / 220,000 Unit Contribution Margin= $2.10 per unit

Therefore the Unit Contribution Margin will be $2.10 per unit
