Abbott Sandwich Corporation is a manufacturer of 3 types of sandwiches: ham, peanut butter and jelly and tuna fish.

Janitorial Salaries for manufacturing facility $4,000

Rent on Manufacturing Facility $2,000

	Ham		Peanut butter&Jelly		Tuna Sandwiches
	Std.qty/sand	Std.pric/lb	Std.qty/sand	Std.pric/lb	Std.qty/sand	Std.pric/lb
Direct Materials	.2lbs/sand	$4/lb	.2lbs/sand	$3/lb	.2lbs/sand	$5/lb

Price/sandwich	$10/sand		$15/sand		$6/sand.
Annual Demand	4000		5000		6000

Compute the CONTRIBUTION margin in terms of total $s for all 3products;
Abbott is thinking about discontinuing the Tuna Sandwich product line. If it does so, it will reduce the janitorial salaries by $1,000. Should Abbott discontinue the Tuna sandwiches line? Why or why not?
Abbott is thinking about outsourcing the Ham sandwiches to Fischer corporation for $3/sandwich. If it does so, it can reduce janitorial expenses by $3,000. Should Abbott outsource? Why or why not?
Assume that the toaster/machine can only run a total of 1100 hours or it will break. How many of each sandwich should abbott make? Show your work.
