3) Expedition Outfitters manufactures a variety of specialty clothing for hiking, skiing and mountain
climbing. The management decided to begin production on two key new parkas design for use in
extremely cold weather: the Mountain Parka and the Rocky Parka. The manufacturing plant has 40

Mountain Parka requires 30 minutes of cutting time and 45 minutes of sewing time, and each Rocky
Parka requires 45 minutes of cutting time and 15 minutes of sewing time. The retail prices through the
