Variable manufacturing overhead 2 2 2

Fixed manufacturing overhead 4 4 4

Required number of labor hours 0.50 0.50 1.00

Required number of machine hours 4.00 2.50 2.00

Blossom has determined that it can sell a limited number of each table in the upcoming year. Expected demand for each model follows:

Table A 50,000 units Table B 20,000 units Table C 30,000 units

Suppose that direct labor hours has been identified as the bottleneck resource. Determine how Blossom should prioritize production by rank ordering the products from 1 to 3. #1: Product Ranking Table A Table B Table C If Blossom has only 40,000 direct labor hours available, calculate the number of units of each table that Blossom should produce to maximize its profit. (Enter the products in the sequence of their preferences; the product with first preference should be entered first.)
