    Correct statement:

    income will be $15000 less if Product A is made

    Explanation:

    Contribution if all units made are Product A:

    5,000 machine hours / 2 hours per unit: 2,500 units

    2,500 units x $14 per unit: $ 35,000

    Contribution if all units made are Product B:

    5,000 machine hours / 3 hours per unit: 1,666.67 units

    1,666.67 units x $30 per unit: $ 50,000

    There is a difference of 50,000 - 35,000 = 15,000 in favor to produce B
