Explanation:
a. Determine the contribution margin per unit for each type of vase.

For the Vase 1, the number of machine hours per unit is 1. So the contribution margin per machine hour for Vase 1 is equal to CM1=$25.
For the Vase 2, the number of machine hours per unit is 2. Then, the contribution margin per machine hour for Vase 2 is equal to CM2=$40/2=$20.
