Answer #1

Selling price per unit of sinks = $200

Variable cost per unit of sinks = $70

contribution margin per unit of sinks = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $130

Time required to make 1 unit of sink = 5 hours

Contribution margin per hour of  specialized molding equipment time for sinks = contribution margin per unit / Time required to make 1 unit of sink

= 130/5

= $26

Correct option is a.
