Question:
Haws Electronics produces two products, MP3 players and digital cameras. Both products are extremely popular, and the company can sell as many of either product as it can produce. Haws can produce only a limited number of products, however, because only 12,000 direct labor hours are available due to the isolated location of the factory. It takes four hours of direct labor to produce an MP3 player and three hours to produce a digital camera. The selling price of an MP3 player is $148, and the variable costs are $60. The selling price of a digital camera is $152, with variable costs of $84. Which product should Haws produce if its direct labor hours are limited?
