Keep the current workforce at a level capable of producing 1,400 units per month. Permit a maximum of 20% overtime at a premium of $42 per unit.

Inventory carrying cost is $25 per unit per month. Idle time per unit is $55. Any additional needs are subcontracted at a cost of $55 per incremental unit. (Enter all responses as wholenumbers.)
