Contribution margin means the margin that is left with the company after recovering variable cost out of revenue earned by selling smart phones. The formula for contribution margin is as follows:

Weighted Average Contribution Margin:

Weighted Average Contribution Margin is calculated for two products with the help of following formula:

$\begin{array}{l}WeightedAverageContributionMargin=\left(ContributionmarginofProductA*WeightofproductA\right)\\ +\left(ContributionmarginofProductB*WeightofproductB\right)\end{array}$
