In the example, multiplying $6 by 25 percent gives a weighted-average CMU of $1.50 for Product A. Step 4. Add the weighted-average CMUs of each product together to give the total weighted-average contribution margin or weighted-average ratio for the company's current product mix.

In this way, asteroids, comets, planets, and moons were created. Earth's rocky core formed first, with heavy elements colliding and binding together. Dense material sank to the center, while the lighter material created the crust. The planet's magnetic field probably formed around this time. Gravity captured some of the gases that made up the planet's early atmosphere. Early in its evolution, Earth suffered an impact by a large body that catapulted pieces of the young planet's mantle into space. Gravity caused many of these pieces to draw together and form the moon, which took up orbit around its creator.
