Minutes of Grinding Machine Time required to satisfy demand for all four products:
Total Grinding Machine Time
Product A = 4.10 minutes * 4,300 demand units = 17,630 minutes
Product B = 5.60 minutes * 4,300 demand units = 24,080 minutes
Product C = 4.60 minutes * 3,300 demand units = 15,180 minutes
Product D = 3.70 minutes * 2,300 demand units = 8,500 minutes
Total = 65,400 minutes
Explanation:
The total minutes of Grinding Machine Time required to satisfy monthly demand for each product is calculated by multiplying the units demanded by the grinding minutes per unit.
This gives total minutes required for each product. Then, when they are summed, the total Grinding Machine Time is obtained.
This total can be compared to the total available minutes per month of 53,900 to obtain the additional minutes required above the minutes available in order to satisfy the products' demands.
