nformation For The Next Three $(3)$ Questions

A large distribution center uses some part$-$time employees in its workforce. Each part$-$time employee works a maximum of $80$ hours per month. The workforce requirements $($expressed as the number of part$-$time employees working the maximum regular time of $80$ hours per month$)$ are given as follows for the next six periods.

Period $1=50,$ Period $2=50,$ Period $3=75,$ Period $4=75,$ Period $5=50,$ Period $6=50$

The relevant costs are:

Wages $=$ $$350/$month$/$worker

Hiring cost $=$ $$100/$worker

Layoff cost $=$ $ $50/$worker

Overtime cost $=150\%$ of regular$-$time rate

The current workforce level is $60,$ and overtime cannot exceed $25\%$ of regular$-$time capacity.
