FAIRY DRAGON's annual requirement for these components is 8,000 units of B12 and 11,000 units of B18. Recently, FAIRY DRAGON's management decided to devote additional machine time to other product lines resulting in only 41,000 machine hours per year that can be dedicated to the production of the bearings. An outside company has offered to sell FAIRY DRAGON the annual supply of the bearings at prices of P11.25 for B12 and P13.50 for B18. FAIRY DRAGON wants to schedule the otherwise idle 41,000 machine hours to produce bearings so that the company can minimize its costs (maximize its net benefits). REQUIREMENTS: (a) The net benefit (loss) per machine hour that would result if FAIRY DRAGON accepts the supplier's offer of P13.50 per unit for component B18 is (b) How many units of B12 and B18 should the company purchased or produced to maximize its net benefits?

FAIRY DRAGON's annual requirement for these components is 8,000 units of B12 and 11,000 units of
B18. Recently, FAIRY DRAGON's management decided to devote additional machine time to other
product lines resulting in only 41,000 machine hours per year that can be dedicated to the production
of the bearings. An outside company has offered to sell FAIRY DRAGON the annual supply of the
bearings at prices of P11.25 for B12 and P13.50 for B18. FAIRY DRAGON wants to schedule the
otherwise idle 41,000 machine hours
(maximize its net benefits).
