Question 2 Calculate the product profitability priority Marks: 6

Question 3 Calculate the most profitable product mix considering the constraint Marks: 2

Question 4 Calculate maximum profit for the system considering it has a constraint Marks: 3 Question 5 Marketing identifies a new opportunity whereby Product R can be modified to a to offer scaled down version of Product R, namely Product S. The new demand created for Product S will not have any influence on the demand for Product R, but will require an additional marketing effort of R2 500 per week to maintain the new demand. This new Product S will require the same processes as Product R, but the processing times will differ. See attached diagram for Product S. To be able to produce the new Product S, certain modifications need to be done to resource E which will require a once-off investment of R265 000. This modification will be completed over a weekend and will not disrupt production whatsoever. Analyse the proposed change and provide justification why or why not marketings proposal should be implemented or not.
