Markov Fireworks Produces Two Products, Spinners and Sparklers

question 30

Essay

Markov Fireworks produces two products, spinners and sparklers. Spinners sell for $4.50 per unit; sparklers sell for $6.50 per unit. Variable costs for spinners and sparklers are respectively, $3.50 and $3.00. There are 3,600 direct labour hours per month available for producing one of the two products. Fixed manufacturing overhead cost is allocated at $1,000 per month. Spinners require 2 direct labour hours and sparklers require 5 direct labour hours.
Required:
1. Contribution margin per unit for each product.
2. Contribution margin per direct labour hour for each product.
3. The total number of products of each type that could be produced each month assuming the other product is not made.
4. Income for a month for each product assuming that it is the only one produced and sold.

Definitions:

RC Parallel Circuit

An electrical circuit configuration consisting of resistors (R) and capacitors (C) connected in parallel, affecting current and voltage differently.

R

Symbol commonly used to denote resistance in electrical circuits, measured in ohms (Ω).

Power Factor

The ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit, indicating how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output.

RC Parallel Circuit

An electrical circuit composed of resistors (R) and capacitors (C) connected in parallel, affecting the total impedance seen by an alternating current (AC) source.
