I focused on the OPP. The paragraph said they had a minimum and maximum demand they had to produce as far as I’m aware..Although they said the minimum must be met, the question specifically asked what is the optimal production plan (with only 120 or something minutes/hours left) in order to maximize the profit.
I got my answer by finding the contribution for each cake, and then dividing by the limiting factor i.e hours/minutes to find amount of contribution per limiting factor.
The biggest contributor gets made first.The demand I used was the maximum expected demand. After I did that, there was no time to make any muffins.
The same thing happened in September paper I think where people said to honor the contract..I found the answer was asking to focusing on the OPP as normal and then using the Maximum expected demand (including the contract). So in this case, that’s what I did.
This is only my answer and opinion though.
You make sense and knowledge wise both of us solved it the same way. However, the difference in our answer is due to the fact that I solved it in accordance with the scenario provided at the beginning because it was an MTQ and you solved it independently. Neither one deserves to be wrong because we both had the knowledge lol.

December 10, 2016 at 3:42 pm #363125ROI questions:
1. Capital employed. Did you add Head office non-current assets to the Division’s non current? And plus working capital to get capital employed?
2. Profit figure in ROI. For the investment center division, is it preferred to add Head office costs to the income statement of the division in order to measure the divisions operations?
