Question

Accounting

Barlow Company manufactures three productsA, B, and C. The selling price, variable costs, and contribution margin for one unit of each product follow:

Product
A B C
Selling price $ 150 $ 240 $ 200
Variable expenses:
Direct materials 12 48 24
Other variable expenses 108 120 152
Total variable expenses 120 168 176
Contribution margin $ 30 $ 72 $ 24
Contribution margin ratio 20 % 30 % 12 %

The same raw material is used in all three products. Barlow Company has only 5,400 pounds of raw material on hand and will not be able to obtain any more of it for several weeks due to a strike in its suppliers plant. Management is trying to decide which product(s) to concentrate on next week in filling its backlog of orders. The material costs $12 per pound.

Required:

3. Assuming that Barlows estimated customer demand is 600 units per product line, what is the maximum contribution margin the company can earn when using the 5,400 pounds of raw material on hand?
