Onofkp411 Corporation has a time contraint on one of its special machines. The company makes three products that use this machine. Data concerning those products appear below: Magnifico Bellissimo Lovely Selling price per unit $ 335.18 $ 228.46 $ 199.21
Variable cost per unit $ 259.26 $ 173.08 $ 159.61
Minutes on the constraint 7.50 4.30 5.50
Assume that sufficient time is available on the constrained machine to satisfy demand for all but the least profitable product Q) Up to how much should Onofkp 411 be willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
a) $75.80 per minute
b) $14.17 per unit
c) $39.48 per unit
d) $774 per minute

$7.20 per minute

Explanation:

Find out the profitability of each product as Contribution Margin per minute.

Magnifico

Contribution margin per minute = (Selling price - Variable cost) / minutes on the constraint

= (335.18 - 259.26) / 7.5

= $10.12 per minute

Bellissimo

= (228.46 - 173.08) / 4.3

= $12.88 per minute

Lovely

= (199.21 - 159.61) / 5.5

= $7.20 per minute

Their least profitable product is $7.20 per minute.

The machine does not have sufficient time to satisfy the needs of Lovely so they will have to pay more to acquire more of the resource but they should not pay anything more than $7.20 per minute as this is their contribution margin for the product. and anything more would result in a loss.

Options are most probably for another variant of the question.

answer; the correct answer should be (demonstrations); good luck

odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers. if n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be odd consecutive integers. the first number in the pattern is always the variable on its own or in this case, "n". examples.
