Direct Labour per Hour per unit

Fixed Costs for the month Are £4000

Limited hours of 400 available- how do you work out the profit maximising and how many units can be produced.

How much

Not enough information given!

you need to calculate contribution per unit.

then calculate contrubution per labour hour per unit to decide which unit you need to produce first, followed by next highest contribution per unit ......and the allocate the remaining hours to the productions of other units.

calaculate total maximum contribution from production lesss fixed costs equals maximum profit
