1. Product Decisions Under Bottlenecked Operations

   Youngstown Glass Company manufactures three types of safety plate glass: large, medium, and small. All three products have high demand. Thus, Youngstown Glass is able to sell all the safety glass that it can make. The production process includes an autoclave operation, which is a pressurized heat treatment. The autoclave is a A condition that occurs when product demand exceeds production capacity.production bottleneck. Total fixed costs are $234,000 for the company as a whole. In addition, the following information is available about the three products:

   	Large		Medium		Small
   Unit selling price	$122		$314		$158
   Unit variable cost	(96)		(257)		(139)
   Unit contribution margin	$ 26		$ 57		$ 19
   Autoclave hours per unit	4		6		2
   Total process hours per unit	12		18		4
   Budgeted units of production	5,100		5,100		5,100

   a. Determine the contribution margin by glass type and the total company operating income for the budgeted units of production.

   Units produced
   Revenues	$	$	$	$
   Variable costs
   Contribution margin	$	$	$	$

   	Large	Medium	Small
   Contribution margin	$	$	$
   Autoclave hours per unit
