Answer:
$9,400
Explanation:
For computing the maximum contribution margin we need to do following calculations
Contribution Margin
Product A = ($12 ÷3) = 4
Product B = ($5 ÷ 1) = 5
Product C = ($9 ÷ 2) = 4.50
So, the ranking order would be product B > product C > product A
Now
Total machine hours available = 2,100 hours
And,
Time for making 500 units of B
= 500 × 1
= 500 hours
For making 500 units of C, the time taken is
= 500 × 2
= 1000 hours
So the remaining hours left is
= 2,100 hours - 1,000 hours - 500 hours
= 600 hours
So, for A the manufactured is
= 600 ÷ 3
= 200
And, finally the Maximum contribution margin is
= (200 × $12) + (500 × 5) + (500 × 9)
= $2,400 + $2,500 + $4,500
= $9,400
