Kinsi would make the most profit if it produces the product that:_______a. uses the lowest number of stamping machine hours.b. generates the highest contribution margin per unit.c. uses the highest number of stamping machine hours.d. generates the highest contribution margin per stamping machine hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) generates the highest contribution margin per stamping machine hour

Explanation:

Since the stamping machine is Kinsi's constrained resource, or bottleneck resource, in order to maximize its profit, the company should manufacture the products that maximize the utility of the stamping machine. The product that maximize the utility are the one that have the highest contribution margin. Therefore Kinsi must produce the products that have the highest contribution margin per stamping machine hour.
