Answer:

Option D

Wales

Explanation:

<em>Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with the highest contribution per unit of the scare resource </em>

The contribution per unit = selling  price - unit variable cost

Bales- 55- 20= 35  per unit

Tales-  78- 50 = 28  per unit

Wales - 32- 15 = 17  per unit

Contribution per hour = contribution per unit/machine hour required

Product        Cont/unit      machine hr /unit      cont/hr     Ranking

Bales                 35                   5                         7                   2nd

Tales                 28                 7                          4                    3rd

Wales                17                  1                            17                   1st              

<em>Note that the contribution per machine is arrived as contribution per unit divided machine hours required per product. </em>
