contribution margin ratio

The Greenery sells three products. Product A has a contribution margin of $10 per unit, Product B has a contribution margin of $15 per unit and Product C has a contribution margin of $12 per unit. Sales are: 25% A, 35% B and 40% C. The weighted average unit contribution for The Greenery is ______.

If Jacki increases the quality of the stones, what price will she need to charge to attain her target profit of $60,000 per year?

$39.20 Reason: Costs + Target Profit = ($28 x 12,500 + $80,000 + $60,000) = $490,000 ÷ 12,500 sales in units or $39.20 per set.
