three products: chairs, big tables, and little tables. Each chair requires 2 hours in the assembly room and 4 hours in the painting center. Each big table requires 4 hours in assembly and 2 hours in painting. The corresponding values for little tables are 3 hours and 2 hours. The company has available 180 hours of assembly time and 200 hours of painting time. The contribution to profit is $8 for each chair, $10 for each big table, and $7 for each little table. There is a requirement that at least 50 tables (big and/or little) be produced or notables be produced. The objective is to maximize profit contribution.

Power Corp. makes 2 products: blades for table saws and blades for handsaws. Each product passes through the sharpening machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Handsaw blades take 15 minutes on the sharpening machine and have a contribution margin per blade of $15. Table saw blades take 20 minutes on the sharpening machine and have a contribution margin per blade of $35. If it is assumed that Power Corp. has 5,000 hours available on the sharpening machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 4,000 units, how many of each product should be made?
Box Springs, Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: twin and double. The direct material for the twin is $25 per unit and $40 s used in direct labor, while the direct material for the double is $40 per unit, and the labor cost is $50 per unit. Box Springs estimates it will make 5,000 twins and 9,000 doubles in the next year. It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
AMA Corporation has two products, x and y. The profit contribution of x is P50 per unit and the profit contribution of y is P25 per unit. The company has three machine centers that are available for 20, 24, and 18 hours respectively.
