Making product mix decisions

Learning Objective 3

2. CM per MHr, Regular $441

Tread Light produces two types of exercise treadmills: regular and deluxe. The exercise craze is such that Tread Light could use all its available machine hours to produce either model. The two models are processed through the same production departments. Data for both models are as follows:

    Per Unit
    Deluxe Regular
    Sales price $1,030 $610
    Costs:
    Direct materials 320 130
    Direct labor 88 180
    Variable manufacturing overhead 270 90
    Fixed manufacturing overhead* 102 34
    Variable operating expenses 121 63
    Total costs 901 497
    Operating income $ 129 $ 113

Requirements

1. What is the constraint?

2 Which model should Tread Light produce? (Hint: Use the allocation of fixed manufacturing overhead to determine the proportion of machine hours used by each product.)

eBook Question Content Area Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $15. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $30. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 104 more hours of machine time can be obtained?
