Explanation / Answer
Given the company’s limited resource and expected demand, compute how many units of each product Cordova should produce to maximize its profit
Product B = 9000*2.5 = 22500 hour
Product A = 14000*1.5 =21000 Hour
Product C = (58500-22500-21000)/3 = 5000 units
Product A Product B Product C Sale price per unit 47 57 87 Variable cost per unit 22.70 12 38.70 Contribution margin per unit 24.30 45 48.30 Labour hour per unit 1.50 2.50 3.00 Contribution margin per hour 16.2 18 16.10 Rank 2 1 3
