Contribution margin is Total Sales - Total Variable Cost...
Total Sales = 5,000 shirts per year * 50 dollars a shirt
Total Sales = $250,000
Total Variable Cost = 30% of $380,000
Total Variable Cost = .30 * 380,000
Total Variable Cost = $114,000
Contribution margin = $250,000 - $114,000
Contribution margin = $136,000
