7. Sterling Industries Ltd. manufactures a product Z by making and assembling three components A, B and C. The components are made in a machine shop using three identical machines each of which can make any of the three components. However the total capacity of the three machines is only 12,000 machine hours per month and is just sufficient to meet the current demand. Labour for assembling is available according to requirements. Further details are given below:

Fixed costs per month amount to Rs. 50,000. Product Z is sold at Rs. 300 per unit.

From the next month on wards the company expects the demand for Z to rise by 25%. As the machine capacity is limited, the company wants to meet the increase in demand by buying such numbers of A, B or C which is most profitable.
