X Company estimated the following for its three products, A, B, and C, for 2020:
A | B | C | |
Revenue | $57,540 | $24,888 | $74,844 |
Total variable costs | 28,928 | 17,000 | 26,649 |
Contribution margin | $28,613 | $7,888 | $48,195 |
Total fixed costs in 2020 were expected to be $17,400. What is the
expected weighted average contribution margin rate in 2020?
Weighted average contribution margin rate in 2020
Total Sales = $157,272 [$57,540 + $24,888 + $74,844]
Weighted average contribution margin rate in 2020 = Sum[Contribution margin ratio x Sales Mix]
= [($28,613/$57,540) x ($57,540/$157,272)] + [($7,888/$24,888) x ($24,888/$157,272)] + [($48,195/$74,844) x ($48,195/$157,272)]
= [0.49727 x 0.36586] + [0.31694 x 0.15825] + [0.64394 x 0.47589]
= 0.18193 + 0.05016 + 0.30644
= 0.5385320 or
= 53.85%
Hence, the Weighted average contribution margin rate in 2020 will be 53.85%
