Madison Corporation sells three products (M, N, and O) in the following mix: 3:1:2. Unit price and cost data are: M N O Unit sales price $ 16 $ 11 $ 13 Unit variable costs 10 9 10 Total fixed costs are $533,000. The contribution margin per composite unit for the current sales mix (round to the nearest cent) is:

Madison Corporation

The contribution margin per composite unit for the current sales mix is:

= $26.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Products                    M            N            O

Current sales mix      3             1             2

Unit sales price      $16         $11          $13

Unit variable costs   10            9            10

Unit contribution    $6          $2           $3

Contribution margin per

composite unit    $18          $2           $6

=                      ($6 * 3)   ($2 * 1)    ($3 * 2)

b) The contribution margin per composite unit is computed as the addition of the contribution margin per composite unit for each product.  Each product's contribution margin per composite unit is calculated as the contribution per unit multiplied by the sales mix for each product.
