Blue corporation uses a machine to produce products y and z


Blue Corporation uses a machine to produce products Y and Z. Currently, Blue sells these products in bundles of 2 product Y and 1 product Z per bundle. Given Blue's current capacity, they are able to use the machine for a total of 2,000 hours per year. Information on product Y and Z is presented below:

Product Y                                    Product Z

Sales Price                             $1,000                                          $1,500

Variable Costs                        $300                                               $600

Machine hours per unit           7 hours                                          10 hours

Assuming that Blue will sell every unit that it produces (this is one of the weaknesses of CVP analysis), should Blue continue selling in bundles of Y and Z, sell on product Y or sell only product Z? Why?
