Answer:

K1 :$16.2  per pound

S5: $8.6  per pound

G9 :$10.7  per pound

Explanation:

Contribution margin (per unit) is the selling price less the variable cost. Hence for each of the products, it is determined as follows:

K1 :  155.8-91.00 = 64.8

S5: 108.92 - 90.00 =18.92

G9 : 205.55 - 136.00 = 69.55

Contribution margin per pound:

Contribution per pound = contribution per unit/ material required per pound

K1 : =64.8 /4 =$16.2  per pound

S5: = 18.92 /2.2 = $8.6  per pound

G9 : 69.55 /6.5=$10.7  per pound
