Logan Warner · Answer 1

Total 31,680

Explanation:

1,100 x 60% = 660 Mango x $32 Contribution Margin = 21,120

1,100 x 40% = 440 Orange x $24 Contribution Margin = 10,560

Total 31,680

The procedure will be to multiply the units by the sales mix.

Then we multiply each type of product for their contribution margin

Lastly, we add them to get the total contribution margin.
