Answer from: doublejojo214

the total contribution margin if Bricktan chooses the most profitable sales mix is $27,000,000

Explanation:

It is important to note that the limiting factor identified is the production hours.

Step 1 Calculate Contribution per limiting factor of each product

Basic

1 unit requires 0.1 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

= $15/0.10

= $150

Classic

1 unit requires 0.125 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

= $25/0.125

= $200

Deluxe

1 unit requires 0.25 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

= $55/0.25

= $220

Step 2 Rank the products

1st = Deluxe

2nd = Classic

3rd = Basic

Step 3 Determine the production mix

Product Total hours demanded Balance

Capacity 134,000

Deluxe (230,000×0.25) = 57,500 76,500

Classic (508,000×0.125) = 63,500 13,000

Basic (130,000×0.1) = 13,000 0

Step 4 Calculate total contribution

Deluxe (230,000×$55) = 12,650,000

Classic (508,000×$25) = 12,700,000

Basic (130,000×$15) = 1,650,000

Total = 27,000,000
