dKristen Company manufactures three products: X, Y, and Z. The demand for each product is 100 units. The selling price, variable expenses, and contribution margin for one unit of each product follow:
Product |
|||
X |
Y |
Z |
|
Selling price |
$140 |
$300 |
$390 |
Less variable expenses (Only Special steel) |
50 |
100 |
150 |
Contribution margin |
$90 |
$200 |
$240 |
Steel need to make 1 unit |
1 kg |
2 kg |
3 kg |
The same special steel is used for all three products. 1 kg of the
steel costs $50. Kristen can buy up to 400 kgs.
Assume that Kristen can also buy Product Y from an importer and resell it. The purchase price of Y would be $270 per unit. In this case, in what order does the company have to make the products?
A. |
X è Z è Y |
|
B. |
Y è Z è X |
|
C. |
Y è X è Z |
|
D. |
Z è X è Y |
|
E. |
X è Y è Z |
CALCULATION OF CONTRIBUTION PER UNIT OF MATERIAL - SPECIAL STTEL | |||
Product X | Product Y | Product Z | |
Selling Price Per unit | $ 140.00 | $ 300.00 | $ 390.00 |
Less: Variable Costs | $ 50.00 | $ 100.00 | $ 150.00 |
contribution Margin (A) | $ 90.00 | $ 200.00 | $ 240.00 |
Required Number of Special steel | 1 KG | 2 KG | 3 KG |
Contribution per unit per Minuts =(A/B) | $ 90.00 | $ 100.00 | $ 80.00 |
Ranking on the basis of per minute contribution | II nd X | Ist Y | III rd Z |
So as per ranking we can produce the product | |||
Answer = Option C. Y è X è Z |
