Explanation:
a. Contribution margin per hour
Standard
Selling price $40
Variable cost $20
Contribution margin. $20
Hour per unit. 0.5
Contribution margin per hour $10
Deluxe
Selling price $60
Variable cost. $24
Contribution margin $36
Hour per unit. 1.5
Contribution margin per hour $54
Optimum product mix
Standard 90,000 / 0.5 = 180,000 units
Deluxe. 0
Total. 90,000
Pappy should produce 180,000 units of standard and nil of deluxe.
b. Given the contribution margin per hour of $10 for standard and $54 for deluxe, the optimum product mix would be;
Standard 120,000 × 0.5 = 60,000 hours, 120,000 units
Deluxe 30,000 hours , 30,000/1.5= 20,000 units.
Total hours 90,000 hours
Therefore, Pappy should produce 120,000 units of standard and 20,000 units of deluxe.
