Baker Company manufactures three products: A, B and C. The selling price, variable costs and contribution margin for one unit of each product follow: Selling price Less: Variable expenses: Direct materials Direct labour Other variable expenses Total variable expenses Contribution margin Product B A $131.00 $180.00 21.00 14.20 63.50 98.70 $32.30 C $175.00 67.00 48.00 14.20 14.20 44.00 72.25 125.20 134.45 $54.80 $ 40.55 The same raw material is used in all three products and costs $4 per kilogram. Baker Company has only 8,500 kilograms of material on hand and will not be able to obtain any more material for several weeks due to a strike in its supplier's plant. Management is tryin to decide which product(s) to concentrate on next week in filling its backlog of orders. Direct labour costs $19 per hour. Required: 1. Compute the amount of contribution margin that will be obtained per kilogram of material used in each product. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Harrington Corporation produces three products, A, B, and C. Pertinent information on these products is as follows: Product Selling Price per Unit Variable Cost per Unit Fixed Costper Unit DL Hoursper Unit A $ 4.00 $ 1.00 $ 2.00 2 B $ 3.50 $ 0.50 $ 2.00 2 C $ 6.00 $ 2.00 $ 3.00 3 The objective function for a linear program to maximize contribution margin from the set of three products is: Multiple Choice Z = $3A + $2.50B + $5C. Z = A + B + C. Z = A + $0.50B + $2C. Z = $3A + $3B + $4C. Z = $4A + $3.50B + $6C.
