Question: A business makes three different products, the details of which are as follows:
Product (code name) B14 B17 B22
Selling price per unit (£) 25 20 23
Variable cot per unit (£) 10 8 12
Weekly demand (units) 25 20 30
Machine time per unit (hours) 4 3 4
Fixed costs are not affected by the choice of product because all three products use the same machine. Machine time is limited to 148 hours a week. Which combination of products should be manufactured if the business is to produce the highest profit?
