Answer:

c. Pie

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine which product is the most profitable, we must calculate the contribution margin per hour:

Cake Pie Cookies

contribution margin $18 $11 $3

production time 3 1 .30

contribution margin p/hour $6 $11 $10

Pie is the most profitable product, followed by cookies, and cakes are the less profitable products.
