      Per Unit  
      K707 G582
Sales Price      $            84  $            50
Variable Costs   24 21
Contribution Margin    $            60  $            29
Contribution Margin Ratio   71% 58%

 

 

After expansion, the factory will have a production capacity of 4,700 machine hours per month. The plant can manufacture cither 40 units of K707s or 62 units of G582s per machine hour.
