Answer:
14 truck and 1 suv produce 21,800 profit
Explanation:
We have to solve for the contribution margin considering the constraing resourse which, is the ordering cost:
The card models revenue is calcualted using the net realizable value for each card, which is their sales price less the 5% sales commission.
Then we solve for how many truck will it purchase:
300,000 / 19,000 = 15,78
So the company will purchase 15 trucks
giving 15 x 1,425 = 21,375
This will require 2.5 x 15 = 37.5 hours thus 5 sales man (40 labor)
This creates 2.5 hours unsured
and also 300,000 - 15,000 x 19,000 = 15,000 dollar which are not productive
So, we will try to make a better use to purchase the SUV which is the second best option instead of the 15th truck:
giving 14 x 1,425 + 1350 = 21,300
we subtract the 500 dollar of sales man and get a 21,800 profit
with less unproductive dollar. So this will be the answer
