Problem (1.) When a production constraint exists, the best measure of profitability is the:
a. differential revenue per production constraint.
b. unit contribution margin per production constraint.
c. markup per production constraint.
d. differential cost per production constraint.
Problem (2.) Zionade Company manufactures a certain type of alloy. The alloy undergoes a hardening process. The hardening unit is operating at full capacity and is a production constraint. The unit contribution margin and the number of hours of hardening treatment used by the alloy are as follows:
Unit selling price$97.50
Unit variable cost(22.50)
Unit contribution margin$75.00
Hardening treatment hours per unit3 hrs.
Assuming Zionade produces 2,000 units of the alloy, calculate the unit contribution margin per production constraint hour.
a. $75 per hour
b. $33 per hour
c. $25 per hour
d. $98 per hour
