    The correct answer is option (d).

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

    Contribution Margin for Product A = $32 : 2 hours = $16

    Contribution Margin for Product B = $60 : 3 hours = $20

    So, Income of Product A in 1,000 hours = $16 * 1,000 = $16,000

    Income of Product B in 1,000 hours = $20 * 1,000 = $20,000

    Hence, $4,000 less if Product A is made.
