Pine Street Inc. makes unfinished bookcases that it sells for $59. Production costs are $38 variable and $10 fixed. Because it has unused capacity, Pine Street is considering finishing the bookcases and selling them for $75. Variable finishing costs are expected to be $8 per unit with no increase in fixed costs. Prepare an analysis on a per unit basis showing whether Pine Street should sell unfinished or finished bookcases.

Producing a bookshelf requires 8 boards and 12 screws. Producing a TV stand requires 10 boards and 14 screws. Each bookshelf yields $22 profit, and each TV stand yields $27 profit. There are 65 boards and 160 screws available. Let x represent the number of bookshelves made and y represent the number of TV stands made. What are the resource inequalities for this situation? 8x + 12y ≤ 22, 10x + 14y ≤ 27, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 8x + 10y ≤ 22, 12x + 14y ≤ 27, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 8x + 10y ≤ 65, 12x + 14y ≤ 160, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 8x + 12y ≤ 65, 10x + 14y ≤ 160, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Jansen Crafters has the capacity to produce 50,000 oak shelves per year and is currently selling 44,000 shelves for $32 each. Cutrate Furniture approached Jansen about buying 1,200 shelves for bookcases it is building and is willing to pay $26 for each shelf. No packaging will be required for the bulk order. Jansen usually packages shelves for Home Depot at a price of $1.50 per shelf. The $1.50 per-shelf cost is included in the unit variable cost of $27, with annual fixed costs of $320,000. However, the $1.50 packaging cost will not apply in this case. The fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the company has the capacity to accept the order. Based on this information, what would be the profit if Jansen accepts the special order? A. Profits will decrease by $\$ 1,200$ . B. Profits will increase by $\$ 31,200$ . C. Profits will increase by $\$ 600$ . D. Profits will increase by $\$ 7,200$ .
