The plan must wind up with no units in ending inventory in period 6. Regular time capacity is 150 units per month. Subcontract cost is $50 per unit and regular time cost is $20 per unit. Beginning inventory is zero. Workers can be re-assigned to other production lines without any additional cost. What is the total cost of this plan?
