A food surplus in a society can lead to many different things. But based on the principles of supply and demand a surplus of food should lead to a reduction in the price of food, because the quantity supplied is most likely higher than the quantity demanded. In addition a food surplus could lead a country or companies to sell their food surplus internationally or to "dump" the goods on another country or market by selling the goods for a very cheap price most likely lower than the price of the good in that market prior to the entry of this new producer or country with the food surplus.

A product sells for $5, and has unit variable costs of $3. This product accounts for $20,000 in annual sales, out of the firm's
Ronch [10]

Answer:

0.1333

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price = $5

Variable cost = $3

Annual sales = $20,000

Total sales = $60,000

Contribution margin:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $5 - $3

= $2

Number of units sold:

= Annual sales ÷ Selling price

= $20,000 ÷ $5

= 4,000 units

Total contribution sales:

= Number of units sold × Contribution margin per unit

= 4,000 units × $2

= $8,000

Weighted contribution:

= Total contribution sales ÷ Total sales

= $8,000 ÷ $60,000

= 0.1333
