    Sequence is CBA

    Explanation:

    Contribution margins:

    A = 75-50-5 = 20

    B = 90-60-5 = 25

    C = 110-70-10 = 30

    Sequence is C, B, A

    The products then should be scheduled for production in the sequence C, B, A

    Explanation:

    Acording to the details of the question Product A requires 5 minutes on the bottleneck, Product B requires 5 minutes on the bottleneck and Product C requires 10 minutes on the bottleneck.

    So the Contribution margins of each of the products can be calculated as follows:

    A = 75-50-5 = 20

    B = 90-60-5 = 25

    C = 110-70-10 = 30

    The products then should be scheduled for production in the sequence C, B, A.
