The S&OP team at Kansas Furniture, has received estimates of demand requirements as shown in the table. Assuming one-time stockout costs for lost sales of $100 per unit, inventory carrying costs of $20 per unit per month, and zero beginning and ending inventory, evaluate the following plan on an incremental cost basis: Plan B: Vary the workforce to produce the prior month's demand. The firm produced 1,300 units in June. The cost of hiring additional workers is $30 per unit produced. The cost of layoffs is $60 per unit cut back. (Enter all responses as whole numbers.) Note: Both hiring and layoff costs are incurred in the month of the change (i.e., going from production of 1,300 in July to 1300 in August requires a layoff (and related costs) of 0 units in August). Hire (Units) Layoff (Units) Production Ending Inventory Stockouts (Units) Month 1 July 2 August 3 September 4 October Demand 1300 1150 1100 1600 1900 5 November 6 December 1900
