Sally and Bill Foo own and operate a business called Foo Cars which hires out electric cars for children. There are ten cars representing a variety of vehicles such as police cars, ambulances and jeeps. All cars can be self-driven or operated by remote control.

Revenue: There are two main sources of revenue.

Waterfront: On weekends and public holidays they operate the business at a parkon the Metroland Waterfront and cars are hired out in varying lengths of time. Past experience has shown that each day on the waterfront generates about $1,500 in revenue. Waterfront sales are all for cash.

The table below gives the number of days (weekend-days and public holidays) when Foo Cars will operate on the waterfront.

Month	Waterfront Days
October	9

Party-hire: Bill takes the cars to private parties where, for 2 hours, the children have access to all the cars. Demand for this service is very high because there are limited days on which Bill is free and so customers are required to book well ahead and pay for the parties one month before the date of the party. Parties are charged out at $300 each.
