Question:

Assume the same facts for the Mohawk Company as the previous question. The throughput per unit for product A is \($18\). Currently, it takes three minutes at the constraint procedure to make one unit of A, so the throughput per minute is \($6\). The Mohawk Company is considering a change in its operating procedures. If it makes this change, it will be able to process Product A through the constraint in two minutes per unit, instead of three minutes per unit. However, the operating expenses will rise by \($2,000\) per period.

What will be the net change in profits if it makes the change? (To solve this, you need to compute the changed amount of throughput of Product D as well as the change in the operating expenses.)
