Maximum demand for next period (units)—500—-500—-500
Contribution per unit ($) ————————— 24—34——40
Labour hours per unit ———————————2—3———5
The company holds no inventories.
If the company plans production to maximise profits, which TWO of the following statements are correct in respect of next period’s production:
a) Produce no Q, 500 units of R and 500 units of S
b) Produce 500 units of Q, 500 units of R and 300 units of S
