The contribution margin ratio for Sporting Goods is 30%, while for Sports Gear it is 50%. The weighted-average contribution margin ratio is 70%. 35%. 40%. 45%.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 35%.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

We can calculate the Weighted average contribution margin ratio by using following formula:

weighted-average contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ratio × Sales of sporting goods) + (Contribution margin ratio × Sales of sporting gears)

= ( 30 × 75% ) + ( 50 × 25%)

= 22.5% + 12.5%

= 35%
