Part 2
Sales Mix Recommendation. To the extent allowed by production and market
constraints, the company should produce as much of Product G as possible. With a
Contribution Margin at Recommended Sales Mix
Contribution margin = 440 units x $80 per unit = $35,200 per month
Part 3
Sales Mix Recommendation with Second Shift. If the second shift is added, the
maximum possible output of G will double
Maximum possible output of G = = 880 units per mo.
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
Hours per unit 0.4
352 hrs. per mo.

The output of Product B with 112 production hours is

Management decision. This contribution margin of $34,040 is less than the contribution
margin of $40,840 generated under the existing market constraint (see part 3).
Therefore, the marginal benefits generated do not warrant the marketing efforts.
