Product F:

Determine the contribution margin per direct labor hour:

Explanation / Answer

Determine the number of direct labor hours per unit:
Product D: 37.80/14 = 2.7
Product E: 107.80/14 = 7.7
Product F: 46.20/14 = 3.3

Determine the contribution margin per direct labor hour:
Product D: $ (230.50 – 37.80 – 109.00)/2.7 = $31.00
Product E: $ (368.20 – 107.8 – 91)/7.7 = $22.00
Product F: $ (280.70 – 46.20 – 152.00)/3.3 = $25.00
