Refer to Figure 13-3. Assuming that specialized molding equipment time is the only constrained resource, and that EBP can sell as many tubs and sinks as it can produce, how many sinks should be sold?
A) 2,050
B) 2,025
C) 0
D) 4,050
E) 810

From the graph, we can see that the total time required to produce 1 sink is 3 hours and the total time required to produce 1 tub is 2 hours. Therefore, the production time required per sink is greater than the production time required per tub.

Since specialized molding equipment time is the only constrained resource, we should prioritize producing the product that requires less time, which is the tub. We can produce a maximum of 2,025 tubs in 4,050 hours (the total time available for specialized molding equipment).

Therefore, the number of sinks that should be sold is 0, as we should produce only tubs to maximize revenue.
