Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $185 and $150, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 119,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha				Beta
Direct materials		$	40			$	24
Direct labor			33				28
Variable manufacturing overhead			20				18
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			28				31
Variable selling expenses			25				21
Common fixed expenses			28				23
Total cost per unit		$	174			$	145

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

13. Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 93,000 units of Alpha and 73,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 227,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

14. Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 93,000 units of Alpha and 73,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 227,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?

15. Assume that Canes customers would buy a maximum of 93,000 units of Alpha and 73,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the companys raw material available for production is limited to 227,000 pounds. If Cane uses its 227,000 pounds of raw materials, up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
