Answer:

(A) $81

Explanation:

Sales mix: 30% QD and 70% QD+.

QD Variable costs per unit = $120

QD selling price = $180

QD+ Variable costs per unit = $135

QD+ selling price = $225

The unit contribution for the Q-Drive is:

[tex]U_{QD} = 180-120 = \$ 60[/tex]

The unit contribution for the Q-Drive+ is:

[tex]U_{QD+} = 225-130 = \$ 90[/tex]

The weighted-average unit contribution margin for Marigold is

[tex]UC= (0.3*U_{QD})+(0.7*U_{QD+})\\UC= (0.3*60)+(0.7*90)\\UC =\$ 81[/tex]

The answer is (A) $81.
