Definitely don't deduct the selling price - that would just be silly! We need that to calculate the contribution in the first place.

I think we should not deduct selling price either, as it is the revenue generated from sales and should not be subtracted from profit.

I agree with Tyra, fixed costs should not be deducted because they are already accounted for in the contribution.
