Respuesta :

The answer is   c. 8,000 standard; 1,000 deluxe

Since we have production hours as a limiting factor, therefore we should manufacture that product which gives maximum contribution per hour.

Calculation of contribution per hour

Particulars                     standard                deluxe

    Sale price                           60                            80

(-) variable cost                   (25)                    (35)

Contribution per unit             35                      45

Units per hour                       2                         1

Contribution per hour               70                      45

Ranking                                        I                        II

   

Since the contribution per hour of the standard is more therefore first we should employ resources to manufacture the standard and then remaining to manufacture deluxe.

Calculation of units to be manufactured

Product type              Hour per unit           Total hours                Units

Standard                      0.5         4000  (8000x0.5)                  8000

Delux                               1                   1000                                    1000

Total                         5000 hours

Therefore we should manufacture 8000 units of standard and 1000 units of deluxe.

c. 8,000 standards; 1,000 deluxe

Examples of manufacturing include automotive agencies, bakeries, shoemakers, and tailors, as all of them create products, in preference to supplying services. But, for instance, logging or mining are not productions, as they no longer trade items into new merchandise.

System production is a production approach that creates goods by means of combining components, elements, or raw substances using a formula or recipe. It is often used in industries that produce bulk portions of products, together with meals, liquids, delicate oil, gasoline, prescription drugs, chemicals, and plastics.
