23. Embassy Motorcycles manufacturers two lightweight motorcycles designed for easy handling and safety. The EZ-Rider model has a new engine and a low profile that make it easy to balance. The Lady-Sport model is slightly larger, uses a more traditional engine, and is specifically designed to appeal to women riders, Embassy produces the engines for both models at its Des Moines, Iowa plant. Each EZ-Rider engine requires 6 hours manufacturing time and Lady-Sport requires 3 hours manufacturing time. The Des Moines plant has 2100 hours of engine manufacturing time available for the next production period. Embassy’s motorcycle frame supplier can supply as many EZ-Rider frames as needed. However, the Lady-Sport frame is more complex, and the supplier can only provide up to 280 Lady-Sport frames for the next production period. Final assembly and testing require 2 hours for each EZ-Rider model and 2.5 hours for each Lady-Sport model. A maximum or 1000 hours of assembly and testing time are available for the next production period. The company’s accounting department projects a profit contribution of $2400 for each EZ-Rider produced and $1800 for each Lady-Sport produced.
