Answer:

Kevin has analyzed the situation well. However, he should also consider the fact that he saved $10 by only purchasing the shirt.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the forgone alternative. Out of the 3 choices, he only purchased 1 of the choices, the opportunity cost are the other two choices. However, he is still capable of buying the flip-flops costing $10 but he chose not to do so. He should consider it as a savings aside from it being a lost opportunity.

The question is incomplete; the complete question is given below.

                        Selling Price per unit Variable  cost per unit

Product                                     $                                  $

Snowboards                           20.00                       170.00

Skis                                  400.00                          225.00

Poles                                      50.00                 20.00

Salvador's contribution margin is  46.2%

Explanation:

Contribution is the amount generated from the sales of a product to cover part of the total fixed cost.

Contribution is an important concept in decision making because it helps to determine the profitability of individual products where a set of products benefit from the same fixed cost. <em>it </em><em>helps in prioritizing the allocation of resources to different products based on their profitability</em> .

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit- variable cost per unit

Total contribution= Contribution per unit * units sold

Contribution margin ration: The proportion of sales realised as contribution is known as contribution margin ratio (CMR) . It represents the amount generated as contribution from every one dollar worth of sales.  A 60% margin means that $60 is made as contribution from evry sales of $100, for example.

It is a calculated as follows:

Single-product scenario:

C.M.R= contribution per unit/ selling price per unit

Multiple-products scenario:

C.M.R= contribution from a mix / revenue from a mix

We shall use the multiple-products formula

Selling price                              320                     400                50

variable cost                        <u>    (170)                      (225)              (20)</u>

Contribution per unit (SP-VC)   <u>150                           175                30</u>

Cont from a mix (cont× unit)   1050                       525                 60

Revenue from a mix (SP× unit) 2240                    1200               100

Contribution margin ratio= Cont. from a mix/ Rev from a mix

                                           = (1050+525+60)/(2240+1200+100)

                                           =(1635 /  3540) × 100

                                            = 46.2 %
