Bee Company is able to produce two products, G and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is available. Product G Product B
Selling price per unit $170 $200
Variable costs per unit $70 $120
Contribution margin per unit $100 $80
Machine hours to produce 1 unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours
Maximum unit sales per month 550 units 200 units

The company presently operates the machine for a single eight-hour shift for 22 working days each month. Management is thinking about operating the machine for two shifts, which will increase its productivity by another eight hours per day for 22 days per month. This change would require $10,000 in additional fixed costs per month. (Round hours per unit answers to 1 decimal place. Enter operating losses, if any, as negative values.)

Required:
a. If the company adds another shift, how many units of product G and Product B should it produce? How much total contribution margin would this mix produce each month?
b. Suppose that the company determines that it can increase product G?s maximum sales to 600 units per month by spending $9000 per month in marketing efforts. Should the company pursue this strategy and the double shift?

Suppose that a major city’s main thoroughfare, which is also an interstate highway, will be completely closed to traffic for two years, from january 2014 to december 2015, for reconstruction at a cost of $535 million. if the construction company were to keep the highway open for traffic during construction, the highway reconstruction project would take much longer and be more expensive. suppose that construction would take four years if the highway were kept open, at a total cost of $800 million. the state department of transportation had to make its decision in 2014, one year before the start of construction (so that the first payment was one year away). so the department of transportation had the following choices: (i) close the highway during construction, at an annual cost of $267.5 million per year for two years. (ii) keep the highway open during construction, at an annual cost of $200 million per year for four years. now suppose the interest rate is 80%. calculate the present value of the costs incurred under each plan.
