Demand for two products, A and B is 1,000 units and 2,000 units respectively. Each unit of Product A requires 8 kg of material and each unit of Product B requires 5 kg of material. The maximum availability of material is 17,200 kg. Contribution per unit of A is $10 and per unit of B is $9.

Place the production volumes of Product A and Product B, that will maximize contribution, in the table.

Find the weighted average contribution per unit using the following information:
