Calculate the profit gain both in absolute dollars as well


The senior management at Canine Kernels Company CKC is concerned with the existing capacity limitations so they want to accept the mix of orders that maximizes the company's profits. Traditionallly, CKC has utilized a method whereby decisions are made to produce as much of the product with the highest contribution margin as possible (up to the limit of its demand), followed by the next highest contribution margin product, and so on until no more capaxity is available. Because capacity is limited, choosing the proper product mix is crucial. Troy Hendrix, the newly hired production supervisor, is an avid follower of the theory of contraints philosophy and the bottleneck method of scheduling. He believes that profitability can indeed be approved if bottleneck resources are exploited to determine product mix.

A, What is the profit if the tranditional contribution margin method is used for determining CKC's product mix?
