Morgan works for a company that manufactures car parts at a single facility. The expected demand for one of these car parts during the next 3 months is shown in the table below along with the expected production costs and the expected capacity for producing these items. Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Demand 60 60 65 Production Cost $20 $25 $25 Production Capacity 85 83 82 Morgan's company estimates it costs $10.00 per month for each unit of this appliance carried in inventory at the end of each month. Currently, Morgan's company has 5 units in inventory and wants to have 12 units in inventory at the end of month 3. To maintain a level workforce, the company wants to produce at least 70 units per month. They also want to maintain a minimum inventory of 12 units. The network diagram is shown below.
