Refer to Example 3. Suppose that the new union contract limits the number of temporary workers working in any month to 28 (i.e., 20 percent of number of permanent workers). Recall from Example 2 that up to 400 units can be produced during overtime per month. Using trade-off analysis and trial-and-error, find the minimum cost aggregate production plan in this case.
