    About 90 minutes ago you posted the same question without the first paragraph which has been replied.

    I would agree with morgaine300 about insufficient information especially what is the demand for each size of shirt? Obviously to concentrate only on one size that gives the maximum benefit is not a good business policy.

    Yes, I've just now found this, after spending time answering your other thread. So you have posted twice, with different information. These threads can get totally separated and we will not know two exist. Keep everything in one place.

    It still does not change what I said on my other post (i.e. I still see no labor costs with to figure contribution margin), but can be please keep this discussion all over here:
