The extracted text from the second page reads:$---**$Lorex Pharmaceuticals$**-$ Carter Blakely, manager of quality assurance for Lorex Pharmaceuticals, was pleased with the progress in producing the companys new product, Linatol. $-$ Linatol, developed and patented by Lorex years ago, was intended for treating high blood pressure. After eight years of product testing, including clinical trials, the FDA approved Linatol only a week ago. $-$ The manufacturing division prepared the production line over the past week, and one$-$shift production was scheduled to start on Monday. $-$ The marketing division decided that the initial offering of Linatol would be in sealed $10-$ounce bottles, packaged in cases of $12,$ with a wholesale price set at $$186$ per case. $-$ Blakely's remaining task was to set a target amount for filling the $10-$ounce bottles.$---**$The Manufacturing of Linatol:$**-$ Linatol was blended in $5,000-$liter batches with a confidential process. It was bottled on a semiautomatic filling line that included an automatic filling mechanism for liquids, a capping and sealing component, and an electronic sensor to measure the liquid volume in each bottle. $-$ When properly filled, the bottles were conveyed to a packaging machine, which loaded and sealed cartons of $12$ bottles each. $-$ The chosen line for Linatol could fill and package $1,000$ bottles per hour. However, due to delays and setup requirements, the expected production rate was $500$ cases per eight$-$hour shift. $-$ This slower production rate was acceptable because Linatol was produced in relatively low volumes, and the slower line was not needed for any other product.$-$ The entire line was operated by two employees who earned $$12\mathrm{.}80$ per hour, including fringe benefits. Every product incurred an overhead burden to cover the expense of maintaining an antiseptic filling room.$---$Let me know if you'd like further analysis or assistance with these documents
