Assume DuPont produces and sells the following four products at the given dollar amount per unit. The Company is operating with constrained resources of machine hours. Selling Price of A is $21. Selling price of B is $30. Selling Price of C is $24. Selling Price of D is $26. Variable manufacturing cost of A is $15. B is $18. C is $16. D is $15. Variable selling cost of A is $2. B is $3. C is $4. D is $5. Machine required hours for A is 2.5. B is 3. C is 1.5. D is 6. In what order should DuPont produce and sell these products.

Step 1
To determine the order in which DuPont should produce and sell the products given the constrained resources of machine hours, we need to calculate the contribution margin per unit and then the contribution margin per machine hour for each product. Show more…

Cranston Corporation makes four products in a single facility. Data concerning these products appear below: Products A B C D Selling price per unit $ 42.30 $ 50.00 $ 37.60 $ 33.50 Variable manufacturing cost per unit $ 20.80 $ 30.70 $ 21.00 $ 19.90 Variable selling cost per unit $ 2.70 $ 2.10 $ 1.00 $ 2.40 Milling machine minutes per unit 3.30 4.10 2.60 1.30 Monthly demand in units 1,000 4,000 3,000 3,000 The milling machines are potentially the constraint in the production facility. A total of 28,200 minutes are available per month on these machines. How many minutes of milling machine time would be required to satisfy demand for all four products

A company manufactures Products A, B, and C. Each product is processed in three departments: I, II, and III. The total available labor-hours per week for Departments I, II, and III are 960, 1020, and 840, respectively. The time requirements (in hours per unit) and the profit per unit for each product are as follows. Product A Product B Product C Dept. I 2 1 2 Dept. II 3 1 2 Dept. III 2 2 1 Profit $18 $12 $15 If management decides that the number of units of Product B manufactured must equal or exceed the number of units of products A and C manufactured, how many units of each product should the company produce to maximize its profit? product A product B product C What is the maximum profit (in dollars)? $

F Co makes and sells two products, A and B, each of which passes through the same automated production operations. The following estimated information is available for period 1. Production unit data A B Direct material cost ($) 2 40 Variable production overhead cost ($) 28 4 Original estimates of production/sales of products A and B are 120,000 units and 45,000 units respectively. The selling prices per unit for A and B are $60 and $70 respectively. Maximum demand for each product is 20% above the estimated sales levels. Total fixed production overhead cost is $1,470,000. This is absorbed by products A and B at an average rate per hour based on the estimated production levels. One of the production operations has a maximum capacity of 3,075 hours which has been identified as a bottleneck, limiting the overall estimated production/sales of products A and B. The bottleneck hours required per product unit for products A and B are 0.02 and 0.015 respectively. Required: A. Using limiting factor analysis, calculate the contribution per bottleneck hour of Product B to the nearest dollar. B. If F Co chooses to prioritize Product B, calculate the value (in $) of the maximum net profit. C. Using throughput analysis, calculate the return per bottleneck hour of Product A. D. If F Co chooses to prioritize the manufacture of Product A, calculate the value (in $) of the maximum net profit using throughput analysis.
