(Round the final answer to the nearest​ cent.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The weighted average unit contribution​ margin is 7,92

Explanation:

The weighted average unit contribution​ margin is the sum of the contribution margin of each product multiplied by the quantity sold of that product ,  then divided by the sum of all the products.  

CM average=(CMᵃ * Qᵃ+CMᵇ * Qᵇ)/(Qᵃ+Qᵇ)

CM average=($ 7.25 * 800+$ 9.00 * 500)/(800+500)

CM average=($5800+$4500)/(1300)

CM average=7,92
