Question

Logan Company can sell all of the standard and premier products they can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce 6 standard units per hour or 5 premier units per hour, and it has 39,000 production hours available. Contribution margin per unit is $21 for the standard product and $25 for the premier product. What is the most profitable sales mix for Logan Company

Answer 1

Answer:

234,000 standard units

Explanation:

                                                                     Standard unit   Premier unit

Contribution margin per unit                            $25                   $21

Production hour per unit                                   1/6                     1/5

Contribution margin per production hour     $150                $105

Contribution margin per production hour is higher for standard units, hence Logan company should produce standard units.

Total production hours available = 39,000

Production per hour of standard unit = 6

Maximum production of standard units = Total production hours available * Production per hour of standard unit

Maximum production of standard units = 39,000 * 6

Maximum production of standard units = 234,000
