    The most profitable product for Speedy Co is B.

    Explanation:

    Let's calculate the profitability of each product, this way:

    Product A:

    Selling price per unit = $ 36 Variable cost per unit = $ 19 Units produced per machine hour = 3 Machine capacity = 3,000 hours

    Profitability = (36 - 19) * 3 * 3,000

    Profitability = $ 153,000

    Product B:

    Selling price per unit = $ 42 Variable cost per unit = $ 16 Units produced per machine hour = 4 Machine capacity = 3,000 hours

    Profitability = (42 - 16) * 4 * 3,000

    Profitability = $ 312,000

    Product C:

    Selling price per unit = $ 46 Variable cost per unit = $ 25 Units produced per machine hour = 2 Machine capacity = 3,000 hours

    Profitability = (46 - 25) * 2 * 3,000

    Profitability = $ 126,000

    Product D:

    Selling price per unit = $ 56 Variable cost per unit = $ 37 Units produced per machine hour = 3 Machine capacity = 3,000 hours

    Profitability = (56 - 37) * 3 * 3,000

    Profitability = $ 171,000
