Question

You are the Chief Financial Officer of Max Gifts Company. A small company that sells Italian Memorabilia which are (1) snow globes with boats and (2) snow globes with buildings inside. The company's August 2021 sales and expenses are provided below:

                                             Boats Globe             Building Globe

Sales                                        $20,000                       $80,000

Variable Cost                           $15,000                       $40,000

No. Momorabilia sold              200                               1000

Sales Mix                                   20%                              80%

Monthly Fixed costs are $37,000.

Required:

e. Compute the weighted average contribution ratio.

Expert Solution
Answer)

Calculation of Weighted Average Contribution margin ratio

Weighted Average Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ratio of Boats Globe X Sales Mix of Boats Globe) + (Contribution margin ratio of Building Globe X Sales Mix of Building Globe)

                                                              = (25% X 20%) + (50% + 80%)

                                                              = 5% + 40%

                                                              = 45%

 

Therefore, contribution margin ratio is 45%.
