Edgerron Company is able to produce two products, and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is available. Selling price per unit Variable costs per unit Contribution margin per unit Machine hours to produce 1 unit Maximum unit sales per month Product G $ 160 65 $ 95 0.4 hours 600 units Product B $ 190 114 $ 76 1.0 hours 200 units The company presently operates the machine for a single eight-hour shift for 22 working days each month.
