Answer:
Produce only Product B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The contribution margin per machine hour for product A is ...
($16 -$6)/(5 hour) = $2 per hour
The contribution margin per machine hour for product B is ...
($12 -$5)/(3 hour) ≈ $2.33 per hour
The company should produce the maximum possible number of the product that contributes the most per machine hour: Product B.
First you need to find the y-intercept, which is y = -1
Next is we need to find the slope of the line > you are going to have to do this by finding to clear point
The ones that I will be using are: (3, 1); (6, 3) (You could take any points)
Now using the slope formula we could find m.
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
(1 - 3) / (3 - 6) = m
-2 / -3 = m
m = 2/3
Using the linear function format: y = mx + b
Therefore the equation of the line is y = 2x/3 -1
-2/3a-6=12a
-6=12a+2/3a
-6=38/3a
3/38*-6=a
-18/38=a
a=-9/19
a=-0.47
