Bottleneck Profit Product K has a unit contribution margin of $120. Product L has a unit contribution margin of $100. Product K requires five furnace hours, while Product L requires four furnace hours. Determine the unit contribution margin per production bottleneck hour for each product, assuming the furnace is a bottleneck constraint. Product K $ Product L $ is the most profitable in using bottleneck resources.
