Question 9. Consider the information.

Quarterly Demand = 4200, 3200, 4600, 3400, for quarters 1,2,3,4, respectively.

Production Standard = 250 items/quarter

Unit Hiring Cost = $250/FTE

Unit Firing Cost = $350/FTE

Unit Carrying Cost = $4/item/quarter

With a beginning annual inventory of 800 and an ending annual inventory of 860, then which production plan represents a mixed strategy that satisfies all the requirements?

(Note: Satisfying all requirements implies not level, not chase, no negative inventory, and meeting ending inventory objective).
