Current Production:
A cost accounting student from Medicine Hat College recommended the following. Since Sun & Surf makes more $CM from Bomber Jackets they should produce as many of them as they can sell [150 units] and use the remaining 50 machine hours to produce Sweat suits.
Consequently, Sun & Surf uses 150 Machine Hours to make 150 Bomber Jackets. They use the remaining 50 Machine Hours to make 100 Sweat suits. So, current production is 150 Bomber Jackets and 100 Sweat suits.
