Capacity decision question $-$ Marks for each question indicated $-$ Total $21$ marks Answer the question in the space provided

The organisation sells three products to the market, Product P$,$ Product $Q$ and Product $R.$ The logical process flows and other information is provided in the diagram below. In order to manufacture these products the organisation uses five types of resources, A to E$.$ You have one of each resource except for A$,$ of which you have two resources. Each resource is available for $2400$ minutes per week. Resources cannot substitute for one another. The demand in the market and the selling prices are fixed and cannot be changed. The fixed cost associated with each resource is indicated in the table below. There is no other fixed cost. There are no breakdowns, no variability in processes and no setup times. Raw material costs are given as a total, thus no raw material calculations need to be made. Resource capacity is indicated as minutes per week.
