Explanation / Answer

Shovels        Rakes          Total

Units                   8,000        20,000          28,000

Sales revenue   $160,000   $40,000       $200,000

Variable costs     $ 98,000    $18,000      $116,000

Contribution         $62,000      $22,000      $84000

Fixed costs         28,000           12,000     40,000

weighted average contribution margin per unit = contribution / units

= (62000+ 22000) / (8000+20000)

= $ 3

ASNWER = B $3
