    We need to establish what the limiting factor is first

    Materials are 55000 kg and labour is 20000h

    The Jackal takes 1 h to produce (6/6=1)
    5000 units x 1h=5000h

    Hyena take 2h (12/6=2), therefore 10000x2=20000h

    The total hours required is 25000h

    This is the limiting factor, so the contribution per limited factor is

    For J 7/1h=7
    Fir H 9/2h=4.5

    Optimal units that can be produced will be

    All of J as it has the highest contribution per limited factor, so 5000 units and whatever is left for H

    5000 will take 5000h, so we have left 15000h/2h =7500 units of Hyena

    @dumutroba quick question why is it 10000 x 2 when Hyena sales demand is 11000?
