Also assume the raw material available for production is limited to 248,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits? 14. Assume Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 98,000 units of Alpha and 78,000 units of Beta. Also assume the raw material available for production is limited to 248,000 pounds. What is the total contribution margin Cane Company will earn? 15. Assume Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 98,000 units of Alpha and 78,000 units of Beta. Also assume the company's raw material available for production is limited to 248,000 pounds. If Cane uses its 248,000 pounds of raw materials, up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places
