    7.20

    Explanation:

    The computation of willing to pay amount is shown below:

    = (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) : (Minutes on the constraint)

    For Product WX

    = ($335.18 - $259.26) : (7.50)

    = 10.12

    For Product KD

    = ($228.46 - $173.08) : (4.30)

    = 12.88

    For Product FS

    = ($199.21 - $159.61) : (5.50)

    = 7.20

    So based on rank, the product FS should be used as it has third rank i. e 7.20
