Answer: Product L is more profitable

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit contribution margin per production of product K per bottleneck hour will be:

= $120/5

= $24

The unit contribution margin per production of product L per bottleneck hour will be:

= $100/4

= $25

Product L is more profitable as it gives a profit of ($25 - $24) = $1 more than product K
