$ 18.800 $ 55.376$ 46.800$ 33.600Contribution Margin

Explanation:

To know the production over the shortage of hours it's necessary  to calculate how much it's the Contribution Marging per minute of Machine.

Contr. Margin/Minute ProdA -> $5,7, ProdB -> $4,2, ProdC -> $6, ProdD -> $8,62

Once you have the number you produce as much as you can of the product with the higher Contribution Margin per hour.

As it's detailed: 3000 Units of ProdD and ProdC,  1000 Units of ProdA and 3220 Units of ProdB.

The LEAST profitable product considering the milling machine it's product B, which get a Contribution Margin per Minut of $4,20.
