Assuming stock-outs cost 100 per unit, inventory costs are 25.00 per unit, and starting
and ending inventories are zero, evaluate the following scenarios:

Produce at a steady rate of 1,000 units per month and subcontract additional units at
60.00 per unit.

overtime to a maximum of 300 units per month. All remaining demand is to be met using a
sub-contractor. Overtime cost is 40.00 per unit.
Plan D
Keep the current workforce at a level capable of producing 1,200 units monthly for the
