Bubble Company produces a variety of bottles from recycled plastic. The company has one particular machine on which it can produce either of two types of water bottles, 1-liter bottles or 1/2-liter bottles. Sales demand for both products is such that the machine could operate at full capacity on either of the products, and Bubble can sell all output at current prices. One unit of the 1/2-liter product requires one hour of machine time per unit of output, and one unit of the 1-liter bottle requires two hours of machine time. Each "unit" is a box that contains 150 bottles.
Following are the costs per unit for the bottles:

Per Unit (150 bottles in a unit)
1/2-Liter Bottles 1-Liter Bottles

Selling price $23 $37
Costs
Materials $6 $9
Labor 1 1
Machine maintenance-
and depreciation(a)ᵃ 6 12
Allocated portion of fixed-
factory costs(b)ᵇ 3 3
Total cost per unit $16 $25
Gross margin per unit $7 $12

a. This item is a variable cost because it is based on machine usage.
b. This item is a fixed cost because it is unaffected by the usage of the machine.

All other costs are the same whether Bubble produces 1-liter bottles, 1/2-liter bottles, or both, so you may ignore them.
Required:
Calculate the contribution margin per hour of machine time for the two products. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

The market for corn in country a is highly competitive. at the current market price of $5/bushel there is a shortage of 100,000 bushels of corn in this country. media reports claim that the price of corn will rise drastically in the near future. according to these reports, the neighboring country b had witnessed a similar situation recently. at the same price, the shortage in country b was also 100,000 bushels and eventually the equilibrium price in b went up to $10/bushel. both countries are known to have equal number of corn producers and the market supply of corn is identical at all prices. this, combined with the fact that consumers in the two countries also have similar tastes and preferences, led the media to conclude that the price of corn in country a would soon be as high as $10/bushel. the new equilibrium price turns out to be below $10/bushel, what inferences can be drawn?
