Answer:

Which product would result in the highest contribution margin - Product Beta

The company used straight line depreciation based on number of units produced. This can be shown as follows:

Cost = $100,000
Life = 5 years or 18,000 units
Salvage value = $10,000

By straight line method;
Depreciation cost per unit = (100,000-10,000)/18,000 = $5

After producing 4,400 units, depreciation expense = 4,400*5 = $22,000.
