Answer:

c. $135,000

Explanation:

We will compare the contribution per machine hour as machine hours are limited.

Computing contribution per machine hour

Product                                      X             Y

Contribution per unit                $24         $18

Machine hours per unit              3              2

Contribution per machine

hour                                             \frac{24}{3}              \frac{18}{2}

                                                     = $8             = $9

Since contribution per machine hour is higher of product Y, thus maximum production of Product Y will be done, in that case total units that can be produced of Y = 15,000 hours/ 2 hours per unit = 7,500 units

Total contribution = 7,500 X $18 per unit = $135,000

Thus correct option is c. $135,000

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The stock price is 38.63

Explanation:

We use the gordon model to calculate the horizon value and with htat the value of the stock:

\frac{D_1}{r-g} = PV\\\frac{D_0(1+g)}{r-g} = PV\\

D1 = 2.60 x 1.04 = 2.704

rate of return 11% = 0.11

grow rate = 4% = 0.04

\frac{2.704}{0.11-0.04} = PV\\

P0 = 38.62857143

The taxes should be ignored as the gordon model do not include them in the calculations

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Maximum total profit = $4,800

Explanation:

When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in such a way that it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.

Therefore the Company should allocate the budget cost  to maximize the profit per production cost. This is done as follows:

Calculate the profit per budget cost and rank the product

                                              Gasoline      Heating oil

Profit per product cost         3/6=0.5                    4/8= 0.5

The two products produce the same profit per dollar of cost which is $0.5. So, they are equally ranked.

So the total profit= the budget cost × profit per budget

                           = 9,600× $0.5 =$4,800

Maximum total profit = $4,800
