Model C124 sells for $406 and has variable costs of $315. The sales mix of the three models is A12, 59%; B22, 27%; and C124, 14%. What is the weighted-average unit contribution margin? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.50.) Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin $ ______.

Answer 1

$22.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Model A12 Model B22 Model C124

Selling price per unit $53 $101 $406

Variable costs per unit $45 $81 $315

Contribution margin per unit $8 $20 $91

Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin = (Model A12 Contribution margin per unit * Sales mix) + (Model B22 Contribution margin per unit * Sales mix) + (Model C124 Contribution margin per unit * Sales mix)

Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin = ($8 * 59%) + ($20 * 27%) + ($91 * 14%)\

Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin = $4.72 + $5.4 + $12.74

Weighted-Average Unit Contribution Margin = $22.86
