The autoclave is a production bottleneck. Total fixed costs are $85,000 for the company as a whole. In addition, the following information is available about the three products:

  Large medium Small

Unit variable cost 130 120 76
Unit contribution margin $ 54 $ 40 $ 24
Autoclave hours per unit 3 2 1
Total process hours per unit 5 4 2
Budgeted units of production 3,000 3,000 3,000
  • A. Determine the contribution margin by glass type and the total company income from operations for the budgeted units of production.
