Steve Ponce · Answer 1

Contribution margin per machine hour for bread machines = $320

Explanation:

From the question, the following can be deduced:

Selling price Variable costs Contribution/unit

Toaster Ovens $100 $60 $40

Bread machines $140 $60 $80

In each machine hour, six toaster ovens per machine hour and four bread machines are manufactured

Total contribution margin per machine hour = 6*40+4*80 = $560

Of which contribution margin per machine hour for bread machines = 4*80=$320
