Arizona Microbrewery, Inc.: An Instructional Case on Management Decision
Making
Memorandum Questions
David is determined to make $50,000 after tax. After listening to your advice, he
makes a radical choice: discontinuing the production of Bock and Stout beers.
Assume that David has conducted some market research that shows he will
continue selling Ale and Pilsner beer at a ratio of 2 to 1. Given David’s current
productive capacity, can he now achieve his goal? How many cases of Ale and
Pilsner would he have to sell to reach his goal? Given the 2:1 sales mix and the
available number of machine hours, what is the maximum after-tax profit David
could attain using this strategy?
