Edgerron Company is able to produce two products, G and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is available. Product G Product B $ 90 $ 120 Selling price per unit Variable costs per unit 30 72 Contribution margin per unit $ 60 $ 48 Machine hours to produce 1 0.4 hours 1 hours unit Maximum unit sales per month 600 units 200 units The company presently operates the machine for a single eight-hour shift for 22 working days each month. Management is thinking about operating the machine for two shifts, which will increase its productivity by another eight hours per day for 22 days per month.

Question

Hello, I'm only looking for help with number 4. I managed to get 1-3 but it won't let me attach that screenshot. 

### Profit and Production Analysis

#### 3. Production with Additional Shift

**Scenario:**
If the company adds another shift, how many units of Product G and Product B should it produce? How much total contribution margin would this mix produce each month?

**Table:**
|                    | Product G | Product B | Total |
|--------------------|-----------|-----------|-------|
| Hours dedicated to the production of each product | 240  |           | 240   |
| Units produced for most profitable sales mix    | 600       |           |       |
| Contribution margin per unit      | $60.00       |           |       |
| Total contribution margin - two shifts | $36,000   |     |   |

**Explanation:**
- **Hours Dedicated to Production:** The company will dedicate 240 hours to the production of Product G.
- **Units Produced:** For the maximum advantageous sales mix, the company will produce 600 units of Product G.
- **Contribution Margin per Unit:** The contribution margin for each unit of Product G is $60.00.
- **Total Contribution Margin:** By operating two shifts, the total contribution margin achieved will be $36,000.

#### 4. Increased Sales and Marketing Campaign

**Scenario:**
Suppose that the company determines it can increase Product G’s maximum sales to 700 units per month by spending $5000 per month on marketing efforts. Should the company pursue this strategy and the additional shift?

**Table:**
|                    | Product G | Product B | Total |
|--------------------|-----------|-----------|-------|
| Hours dedicated to the production of each product |           |           |       |
| Units produced for most profitable sales mix    |           |           |       |
| Contribution margin per unit      |           |           |       |
| Total contribution margin - two shifts and marketing campaign | | | |

**Explanation:**
- **Hours Dedicated to Production:** To be determined based on expansion plans.
- **Units Produced:** Maximizing unit production to 700 units per month for Product G. 
- **Contribution Margin per Unit:** Stay the same or to be adjusted if necessary.
- **Total Contribution Margin:** Needs to be calculated considering the additional $5000 monthly marketing expense to find out if pursuing the marketing campaign and additional shift would be beneficial.

**Note:** The detailed cells are placeholders for actual figures calculation.
