Explanation:

Calip corporation reported the following results for the month of October

Sales= $413,000

Cost of goods sold= $169,100

Total variable sling expenditure= $20,700

Total fixed selling expense= $17,900

Total variable administrative expense= $13,100

Total fixed administrative expense= $30,400

The contribution margin can be calculated by subtracting the total cost of goods sold from the sales

= $413,000-$169,100

= $243,900

Hence the contribution margin for October is $243,900
