Part 3
Sales Mix Recommendation with Second Shift. If the second shift is added,
the maximum possible output of G will double
However, this level of output exceeds the company’s market constraint of
600 units of G per month. This means the company should produce 600
units of Product G, and commit the remainder of the productive capacity to
Product B. This is computed as follows
Units of Product G...............................................................= 600 units per month
Contribution Margin at This Sales Mix
Units Contr./unit Total
From G..................................................................600 $80 $48,000
Management decision. The contribution margin of $40,840 exceeds the
contribution margin of $35,200 generated by one shift alone (see part 2).
Therefore, management should add the second shift.
