Question
XYZ Company produces three products, A, B, and C. XYZ's plant capacity is limited to 48,000 machine hours per year. The following information is available for planning purposes: Product A Product B Product C demand for next year ............. 24,000 units 25,000 units 12,000 units selling price per unit ........... $80 $120 $160 direct material cost per unit .... $24 $ 21 $ 38 direct labor cost per unit ....... $18 $ 50 $ 38 variable overhead cost per unit .. $22 $ 25 $ 54 It takes 0.80 machine hours to produce one unit of Product A; 1.25 machine hours to produce one unit of Product B; and 1.60 machine hours to produce one unit of Product C. Calculate the total number of units of Product B that XYZ Company should produce in order to maximize its net income.
Explanation / Answer
Total hours available = 48000 machine hour
Product A machine hour used = 24000*.80 = 19200 hour
Rest hour use for product B = (48000-19200)/1.25 = 23040 unit
so answer is 23040 unit of Product B that XYZ Company should
