Consider again the Windbreakers product$-$mix decision case discussed in chapter $11.$ Suppose that Windbreakers determines that dropping the Gale product line of jackets will release production capacity so that it can manufacture additional units of Windy jackets. Assume that the two production constraints are the automated sewing machine and the inspection and packaging operation. The automated sewing machine can make $20$ Windys or $30$ Gales per hour. As before, the inspection and packaging operation requires $15$ minutes for a Windy $(4$ per hour$)$ and $5$ minutes for a Gale $(12$ per hour$).$ The unit margin contribution of Windy and Gale is $$8$ and $$4$ respectively. Currently, $4,050$ Gales and $18,750$ Windys are being manufactured and sold. $($Disregard whether this current solution is optimal.$)$ Sales projections, determined on the basis of recent marketing analysis, show that sales of Windy could be increased to $30,000$ units if additional capacity were available.

Required:

$1.$ If Windbreakers deletes Gale entirely, how many units of Windy can it manufacture solely because of the capacity released by discontinuing the production of Gale?

$2.$ What is the dollar effect on operating income if Windbreakers drops the production and sale of Gale and uses the resulting released capacity$$and only this released capacity$$for Windy?
