The correct answer is: Contribution would increase  by $4.80 if one extra unit of the scarce resource was made available.    The shadow price shows by how much contribution  would increase if an extra unit of the scarce resource was made available or  by how much it would decrease if one unit less of the scarce resource was  available.
