Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 16 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $15.0. Khaki pants take 20 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $31.5. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,600 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how many pants should be made?

$8,000

Explanation:

                                                   khaki shorts           khaki pants

machine minutes per unit                    15                         24

contribution margin per unit               $16                       $32

CM per machine minute                  $1.067                   $1.33

minimum demand                            3,000                   3,000

machine minutes required              45,000                72,000

total machine minutes available               288,000

total machine minutes remaining               171,000

production                                             0                       7,125

total production                                3,000                   10,125

total contribution margin               $48,000               $324,000

if 100 more machines hours are added, then production time increases by 6,000 minutes which can be used to produce 250 more khaki pants. Contribution margin will increase by 250 x $32 = $8,000

I calculated contribution margin per minute, but you could also calculate contribution margin per hour to determine which product is more profitable.  Contribution margin per hour for shorts = $64, and for pants = $80. The answer will not change.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
