    The answer is: A) Produce the products with the highest contribution margin per unit of constrained resource.

    Explanation:

    Follow my example:

    A brewery produces two types of beer; dark and light. They share the same ingredients, malt and wheat. You can get all the wheat they need but only 500 units of malt.

    Dark beer needs 2 units of malt and they can earn a $3 profit per bottle. Light beer needs 1 unit of malt and they can earn a $2 profit per bottle.

    Your total production can be 250 dark beers with a $750 profit, or 500 light beers with a $1,000 profit.

    You should only produce light beer since your contribution margin per unit of malt is $2, while dark beer's contribution margin per unit of malt is $1.50
