The available time in machine hours per week is
MACHINE HOURS PER WEEKMilling machines800Lathes480Grinders320
The salespeople estimate they can sell all the units ofX1andX2that can be made. But the sales potential ofX3is 80 units per week maximum.
Unit profits for the three products are
UNIT PROFITSX1$20X26X38

d-1.Would the machines work at capacity?
d-2.WillX3be at maximum sales capacity?
multiple choice
Yes
No
e.Suppose that an additional 200 hours per week can be obtained from the milling machines by working overtime. The incremental cost would be $1.50 per hour. What would be the allowable increase (from the excel sensitivity report) in overtime when compared to additional hours that can be obtained?
