Edgerron Company is able to produce two products, G and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is available.

	Product G					Product B
Selling price per unit			$	160				$	190
Variable costs per unit				65					114
Contribution margin per unit			$	95				$	76
Machine hours to produce 1 unit		0.4	hours				1.0	hours
Maximum unit sales per month		550	units				200	units

The company presently operates the machine for a single eight-hour shift for 22 working days each month. Management is thinking about operating the machine for two shifts, which will increase its productivity by another eight hours per day for 22 days per month. This change would require $9,500 additional fixed costs per month. (Round hours per unit answers to 1 decimal place. Enter operating losses, if any, as negative values.)

1. Determine the contribution margin per machine hour that each product generates. Product G Product B Contribution margin per unit $ 95.00 $ 76.00 Machine hours per unit 0.4 1.0 Contribution margin per machine hour $ 237.50 $ 76.00 Product G Product B Maximum number of units to be sold 550 200 Hours required to produce maximum units 220 200 Total 420 2. How many units of Product G and Product B should the company produce if it continues to operate with only one shift? How much total contribution margin does this mix produce each month? Product G Product B Total Hours dedicated to the production of each product 176 0 176 Units produced for most profitable sales mix 440 Contribution margin per unit 95.00 $ 0.00 Total contribution margin-one shift $ 41,800 41,800 0 $ $ $ 3. If the company adds another shift, how many units of Product G and Product B should it produce? How much total incremental income would this mix produce each month? Should the company add the new shift?

Yes 4. Suppose the company determines that it can increase Product G's maximum sales to 600 units per month by spending $8,500 per month in marketing efforts. Should the company pursue this strategy and the double shift? Compute total incremental income.
