Hasselblad Company manufactures two different products, X and Y. The company has 100 pounds of materials and 300 direct labor hours available for production. The time requirements and contribution margins per unit are as follows: $\begin{array}{lcc}&\text { Froduct } \mathrm{X}& \text { Product } Y\
\text { Contribution margin per unit } & \$ 5 & \$ 6 \
\text { Materials per unit (lbs.) } & 2 & 3 \
\text { Direct labor hours per unit } & 5 & 3
\end{array}$ What is the equation for the constraint on materials?
A)5X + 6Y ? 300
B)4X + 3Y ? 100
C)5X + 6Y ? 100
D)2X + 3Y ? 100

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The constraint on materials is determined by the amount of material each product uses per unit and the total amount of materials available. Product X uses 2 pounds per unit, and Product Y uses 3 pounds per unit. The company has 100 pounds of materials available. Therefore, the equation for the materials constraint is $2X + 3Y ≤ 100$.
