Question - Al-Mafraq Manufacturing Company has three products all of which require the same production facility and utilities. Financial data of the products are shown below:

Financial Information per unit	Product X	Product Y	Product Z
Selling price	JOD 28	JOD 60	JOD 125
Direct Materials costs	JOD 8	JOD 15	JOD 20
Direct Labor costs	JOD 10	JOD 20	JOD 50
Variable overhead costs	JOD 5	JOD 10	JOD 25

Al-Mafraq Manufacturing Company makes the three products in a single facility. Direct labor is paid at the rate of JOD 2 per hour. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are estimated at JOD 25,000 per year. In the short run, the company cannot increase its direct labor strength and as a result, only 35,000 direct labor hours are available per year.

The company has commitments to produce 500 units of each product. It has been suggested by the middle managers that after meeting the minimum requirements for products X, Y and Z, the balance of available direct labor hours should be used to produce product Z.
