Answer:

Correct statement:

income will be $15000 less if Product A is made

Explanation:

Contribution if all units made are Product A:

5,000 machine hours / 2 hours per unit: 2,500 units

2,500 units x $14 per unit: $ 35,000

Contribution if all units made are Product B:

5,000 machine hours / 3 hours per unit: 1,666.67 units

1,666.67 units x $30 per unit: $ 50,000

There is a difference of 50,000 - 35,000 = 15,000 in favor to produce B
