  9. Sophie Turner - contribution is the difference between revenue and the variable costs of the product/service. It is the amount of money available to cover fixed costs and generate profits. It is also known as marginal income.

    Contribution means to subtract all variable costs from the revenue to show the contribution margin.

    It is the money left after teh variable costs have been paid that is the contributor. For example a fare generates £2 of revenue. Variable costs are 50p therefore the contributor is £1.50

  18. The money that is left over from paying off variable costs is then put towards the fixed costs and once the revenue stream is high enough the money is then contributed to profit after fixed and variable costs are being payed off!!!!!!!!
