Problem 23-5A Analysis of sales mix strategies LO A1 Edgerton Company is able to produce two products, G 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 0.4 hours 500 units 1.0 hours 250 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 $7000 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 Contribution margin per unit Product B Contribution margin per machine hour Product Product B Total 250 Maximum number of units to be sold Hours required to produce maximum units 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 Product B Total Hours dedicated to the production of each product Units produced for most profitable sales mix Contribution margin per unit Total contribution margin-one shift 3. If the company adds another shift, how many units of Product G and Product B should it produce? How much total contribution margin would this mix produce each month? Product Product B Total 3. If the company adds another shift, how many units of Product G and Product B should it produce? How much total contribution margin would this mix produce each month? Product G Product B Total Hours dedicated to the production of each product Units produced for most profitable sales mix Contribution margin per unit Total contribution margin-two shifts 4. Suppose that the company determines that it can increase Product G's maximum sales to 600 units per month by spending $6,000 per month in marketing efforts. Should the company pursue this strategy and the double shift? Product Product B Total Hours dedicated to the production of each product Units produced for most profitable sales mix Contribution margin per unit 4. Suppose that the company determines that it can increase Product G's maximum sales to 600 units per month by spending $6,000 per month in marketing efforts. Should the company pursue this strategy and the double shift? Product Product B Total Hours dedicated to the production of each product Units produced for most profitable sales mix Contribution margin per unit Total contribution margin-two shifts and marketing campaign
