Wait, wait, wait. Did you see that? The question says the ranking is C) F, D, F. That's got to be a typo, right? I mean, how can F be both second and third? What kind of messed-up exam is this? I'm just going to go with D, E, F and hope the grader has a sense of humor.

Okay, let's see here. We need to rank the products in order of priority for the profit-maximizing product mix using a traditional contribution approach. The key is to look at the contribution margin per unit of the scarce resource, which in this case is the 2,500 hours of Process A capacity. D has the highest contribution margin per hour, so it should be first, then E, and finally F. Definitely going with D, E, F.
