    Contribution margin per hour = $26

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Selling price of sink = $200 per unit

    Variable cost of sink = $70 per unit

    Selling price of tube = $700 per unit

    Variable cost of tube = $320 per unit

    Required time for specialized molding sink = 5 hours

    Required time for specialized molding tube = 6 hours

    Computation of contribution margin of sink:

    Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost

    Contribution margin = $200 - $70

    Contribution margin = $130

    Computation of contribution margin per hour of specialized molding sink:

    Contribution margin per hour = Contribution margin / Required time for specialized molding sink

    Contribution margin per hour = $130 / 5

    Contribution margin per hour = $26
