Answer:

The correct answer is downward sloping; downward sloping.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition the demand curve for an individual firm is a horizontal line parallel to the x axis. This happens because the firm is a price taker and operate on the price determined by the intersection of demand and supply curves. Any increase in the price will cause the demand to become zero.

While in the monopolistic market a single firm has downward sloping demand curve. Here, the firm is price maker and decides price level. Though, the consumers will demand more at lower price.

The industry supply curve for both will be downward sloping. This happens because, the firms consumers in a market will always demand more at low prices. The demand and price are inversely related.

Effect of Contribution Margin on the other costs is given below

Explanation:

1.Contribution margin per unit is the net amount that each additional unit sold contributes towards a company's fixed costs and profit. It equals the difference between the product's sales price and variable cost per unit.It represents the incremental money generated for each product/unit sold after deducting the variable portion of the firm's costs.Also known as dollar contribution per unit, the measure indicates how a particular product contributes to the overall profit of the company. It provides one way to show the profit potential of a particular product offered by a company and shows the portion of sales that helps to cover the company's fixed costs. Any remaining revenue left after covering fixed costs is the profit generated.

2.The Formula for Contribution Margin Is

The contribution margin is computed as the difference between the sale price of a product and the variable costs associated with its production and sales process.

Contribution Margin=Sales Revenue - Variable Costs

3.The contribution margin is the foundation for break-even analysis used in the overall cost and sales price planning for products. The contribution margin helps to separate out the fixed cost and profit components coming from product sales and can be used to determine the selling price range of a product, the profit levels that can be expected from the sales, and structure sales commissions paid to sales team members, distributors or commission agents.

4,The contribution margin represents the portion of a product's sales revenue that isn't used up by variable costs, and so contributes to covering the company's fixed costs.

The concept of contribution margin is one of the fundamental keys in break-even analysis.

Low contribution margins are present in labor-intensive companies with few fixed expenses, while capital-intensive, industrial companies have higher fixed costs and thus, higher contribution margins
