Patz Company produces two types of machine parts: Part A and Part B, with unit contribution margins of $400 and $800, respectively. Assume initially that Patz can sell all that is produced of either component. Part A requires two hours of assembly, and B requires five hours of assembly. The firm has 400 assembly hours per week.
