Solution: | |
1 | Contrybution margin per hour for each product |
Contrybution margin per unit = Sales - Variable cost | |
contrybution margin per hour = Contrybution per unit/ Hours per unit | |
Product A = $83 - $40 = $43 $43/2 = $21.5 Per hour | |
Product B = $92 - $23 = $69 $69/3 = $23 Per hour | |
Product C = $74 - $27 = $47 $47/2 = $23.50 Per hour | |
2 | If demand for each of the products is greater than the firm's ability to meet that demand, the firm |
Should first produce Product C , as it has highest Contrybution margin per hour | |
3 | If enough capacity exists to produce two products , the firm should produce second product |
is Product B , as it has second highest Contrybution margin per hour | |
4 | The maximum amount the firm is willing to pay is |
900 units * Variable cost of product A | |
900 * $40 = $36,000 |
