Answer:

Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A:

Unitary contribution margin= $16

Machine-hours required= 2

Product B:

Unitary contribution margin= $30

Machine-hours required= 3

First, we will calculate the total income of both products.

Product A= 16*(5,000/2)= $40,000

Product B= 30*(5,000/3)= $50,000

Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
