Vaughn Manufacturing has two divisions; Sporting Goods and Sports Gear. The sales mix is 75% for Sporting Goods and 25% for Sports Gear. Vaughn incurs $6890000 in fixed costs. 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%.

The correct answer is 35%.

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%
