Answer 1

$ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

For Bedford lamp

Sales price = $ 26

Variable cost = $ 16

Machine hours required per unit = 1

Now,

the contribution margin per unit = Sales price - Variable cost

= $ 26 - $ 16

= $ 10

therefore,

the contribution margin per machine hour is calculated as:

= contribution margin / machine hours

or

= $ 10 / 1

or

= $ 10

hence,

the contribution margin per machine hour for the bedford lamp is $ 10
