  1. First, determine if there is sufficient capacity to meet the special order
  2. Second, determine which currently-sold product is less profitable (UCM per scarce resource). If you have to give up some of your regular customers, give up those who are least profitable.
  3. Then can you start the four-step method.
  4. Note: On the old test twos on iLearn, you will see examples of similar problems with answers.

The student group, ALPFA, is taking advance orders to sell bean pupusas and pork pupusas on November 12 for $42 for a batch of 21 pupusas. The students are doing all the cooking, and they will be using a friend’s kitchen. Their only constraint is that they can’t use more than 150 cups of masa flour. As of October 20, ALPFA has orders for 10 batches of bean pupusas and 35 batches of pork pupusas.
