Answer:

Option D

Wales

Explanation:

<em>Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with the highest contribution per unit of the scare resource </em>

The contribution per unit = selling  price - unit variable cost

Bales- 55- 20= 35  per unit

Tales-  78- 50 = 28  per unit

Wales - 32- 15 = 17  per unit

Contribution per hour = contribution per unit/machine hour required

Product        Cont/unit      machine hr /unit      cont/hr     Ranking

Bales                 35                   5                         7                   2nd

Tales                 28                 7                          4                    3rd

Wales                17                  1                            17                   1st              

<em>Note that the contribution per machine is arrived as contribution per unit divided machine hours required per product. </em>

What is the unit cost per tire when 4,000 tires are produced?
Papessa [141]

Answer: $76

Explanation:

If Blue Wagon sells everything it produces, this means that the capacity of the factory is underutilised and so more goods can be produced.

The fixed cost for producing 3,000 tires will therefore be the fixed costs for producing 4,000 tires.

= 20 * 3,000

= $60,000

Total cost when 4,000 tires are produced is;

= Variable costs + fixed costs

= (38 * 4,000) + ( 14 * 4,000) + ( 9 * 4,000) + 60,000

= 152,000 + 56,000 + 36,000 + 60,000

= $304,000

Cost per tire;

= 304,000/4,000

= $76
