-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Alpha = $195

Beta = $150

total production capacity = 123,000 pounds

raw materials = $5 per pound

Production costs per unit                        Alpha                Beta

direct materials                                          $40                   $15

direct labor                                                 $34                   $28

variable manufacturing overhead            $22                   $20  

fixed manufacturing overhead                 $30                   $33

variable selling expenses                         $27                   $23

common fixed expenses                          $30                   $25  

total cost per unit                                     $183                  $144

1) What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound               <u> $9</u>                  <u>$21.33</u>

2) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound                $9                  $21.33

production (in units)                                2,500              75,000

profits                                                    $30,000          $450,000

total profits                                                   <u>$480,000</u>

3) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound                $9                  $21.33

production (in units)                                2,500              75,000

contribution margin                             $180,000      $4,800,000

total contribution margin                            <u>$4,980,000</u>

4) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials?

If it wants to increase the production of Alpha, it could pay as much as ($195 - $183) / 8 = $1.50 extra per pound if it wants to maximize profits. Maximum price = $6.50 per pound. At this point, marginal revenue = price.
