Velasquez · Answer 1

the amount of C required is 190 units of C

Explanation:

the amount of C to cover the necessity of product A is

Ca = A units required * number of C units to manufacture a unit of A

Ca = 30 unit of A * 3 units of C / unit of A = 90 units of C

to produce B the same applies

Cb = B units required * number of C units to manufacture a unit of B

Cb = 25 unit of B * 4 units of C / unit of B = 100 units of C

therefore to cover the necessities of A and also B we will need:

total units of C required = units of C to produce A + units of C to produce B

C = Ca + Cb = 90 units of C + 100 units of C = 190 units of C

C = 190 units of C
