Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Contribution margin per unit

As we know that

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - variable  cost per unit

Particulars                     Product A               Product B                Product C

Selling price per unit     $76                          $56                          $66

Variable cost per unit    $48                          $19                          $39

Contribution margin per unit      $28          $37                         $27

b. Contribution margin per direct labor hour for each product

Contribution margin per direct labor hour = Contribution margin per unit ÷ Direct labor hours per unit

Particulars                     Product A               Product B                Product C

Contribution margin per unit      $28          $37                         $27

Direct labor hours per unit           2.5           3.9                          2.9

Contribution margin per direct labor hour  $11.2  $9.49          $9.31

c. Based on the contribution margin per direct labor hour, the product that should be more focused is product A
