Answer:

Total contribution =$117,600

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 he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource . </em>

<em>The business outfit should rank its products using contribution per minute of constraint </em>

This is done as follows:

Product                                               Q                 P

Contribution margin                         35                40

Machine hours /unit                          7                  5

Contribution /minutes                         5                 8

Ranking for production                      2nd           1st

Note contribution per minute = contribution per unit/minutes required

<em>Allocation of machine hours</em>

All the 14,700 machine hours should be allocated to the production of product P. Doing so would produce a total maximum contribution equals to

Total contribution : machine hours ×  contribution per machine hr

Total contribution = 8× 14,700 =  117,600  

Total contribution =$117,600
