    Explanation:

    The weighted average contribution margin is calculated by multiplying individual contribution margin with respective size pizzas (i. e number of units sold) then total contribution margin (i. e of both medium and large size) is divided upon total number of units sold, see as follows:

    According to Buttercrust Pizza company's sales data medium pizzas sold are twice the number of large pizzas. Now here we have to take an assumption since we aren't given actual sales units. Keeping in mind the sales data we can assume that 100 units of medium pizzas and 50 units of large pizzas are sold during the period.

    Contribution margin of medium pizza: (CM * units of medium size pizzas)

    Contribution margin of large pizza: (CM * units of large size pizzas)

    Contribution margin of medium pizza: $10 * 100 = $1000

    Contribution margin of large pizza: $22 * 50 = $1100

    Total contribution (of both pizza sizes) = $2100

    Total sales units (of both pizza sizes) = 150

    The weighted average contribution margin is calculated as follows:

    WACM = $2100: 150

    WACM = $14
