    Weighted average contribution margin ratio = $632.5

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Suits:

    Selling price = $1,000

    Unitary variable cost = $300

    Sales participation = 90%

    Ties:

    Selling price = $100

    Unitary variable cost = $75

    Sales participation = 10%

    To calculate the weighted contribution ratio, we need to use the following formula:

    Weighted average contribution margin ratio = weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary varialble cost

    weighted average selling price = (1,000*0.9) + (100*0.1) = 910

    weighted average unitary varialble cost = (300*0.9) + (75*0.1) = 277.5

    Weighted average contribution margin ratio = 910 - 277.5 = $632.5
