2)
Assuming that Barlow has unlimited demand for each of its three products, what is the maximum contribution margin the company can earn when using the 6,300 pounds of raw material on hand?
3)
Assuming that Barlow’s estimated customer demand is 600 units per product line, what is the maximum contribution margin the company can earn when using the 6,300 pounds of raw material on hand?
4)
A foreign supplier could furnish Barlow with additional stocks of the raw material at a substantial premium over the usual price. Assuming Barlow’s estimated customer demand is 600 units per product line and that the company has used its 6,300 pounds of raw material in an optimal fashion, what is the highest price Barlow Company should be willing to pay for an additional pound of materials?
The Freed Company produces three products, X, Y, Z, from a single raw material input. Product Y can be sold at the split-off point for total
revenues of $50,000, or it can be processed further at a total cost of $16,000 and then sold for $68,000. Product Y:
А.
Should be sold at the split-off point, rather than processed further.
В.
Would increase the company's overall net operating income by $18,000 if processed further and then sold.
С.
Would increase the company's overall net operating income by $68,000 if processed further and then sold.
D.

- Patz Company produces two types of machine parts: Part A and Part B, with unit contribution margins of 300 and 600, respectively. Assume initially that Patz can sell all that is produced of either component. Part A requires two hours of assembly, and B requires five hours of assembly. The firm has 300 assembly hours per week. Required: 1. Express the objective of maximizing the total contribution margin subject to the assembly-hour constraint. 2. Identify the optimal amount that should be produced of each machine part and the total contribution margin associated with this mix. 3. What if market conditions are such that Patz can sell at most 75 units of Part A and 60 units of Part B? Express the objective function with its associated constraints for this case and identify the optimal mix and its associated total contribution margin.arrow_forwardThe following product Costs are available for Haworth Company on the production of chairs: direct materials, $15,500; direct labor, $22.000; manufacturing overhead, $16.500; selling expenses, $6,900; and administrative expenses, $15,200.
