To calculate the weighted average unit contribution margin, we need to first find the contribution margin for each product. Let's assume that the contribution margin for X is $50 and for Y is $20.

Then, we can calculate the weighted average unit contribution margin as:

[(5,000 units X $50 CM) + (35,000 units X $20 CM)] / (5,000 units + 35,000 units) = $22.50

Therefore, the answer is D.

Rusty Co Sells Two Products, X and Y
