The per unit contribution for the juice glasses (x₁) is equal to 60 - 5x₁, and the per unit contribution for the cocktail glasses (x₂) is 80 - 4x₂. An expression for the total contribution is: A) 20 - 4x₂ - 5 x₁ B) 60 x₁ - 5x1² + 80x₂ - 4x2² C) 80x₁ - 5x₁²2 - 4x2² D) 20 - (4x₂)(5x₁)

The total contribution is found by adding the individual contributions of both products. For juice glasses, the contribution is 60x1 - 5x1^2, and for cocktail glasses, it is 80x2 - 4x2^2. Adding these together gives the total contribution as 60x1 - 5x1^2 + 80x2 - 4x2^2.
