PRODUCT MIX PRIORITIZATION WITH CONSTRAINTS: Yuba Machine Company processes all of its products through a lathe machine. The lathe is only available for 60 hours per week. The selling price, variable costs, and lathe time requirements for Yuba Machine Company's three products are as follows:

	Product D	Product E	Product F
Selling price per unit	$80.00	$60.00	$100.00
Variable cost per unit	$45.00	$35.00	$80.00
Minutes of lathe time required per unit	10	20	5

In what order should Yuba Machine Company emphasize its products to maximize its contribution margin? (Rank the products in order from most profitable to least profitable)
