1. A company must meet on time the following demands: quarter 1, 3000 units; quarter 2, 2000 units; quarter 3, 4000 units. Each quarter, up to 2700 units can be produced with regular-time labor, at a cost of $40 per unit. During each quarter, an unlimited number of units can be made with overtime labor, at a cost of $60 per unit. Of all units produced, 20% are unsuitable for sale and cannot be used for demand. Also, at the end of each quarter, 10% of all units on hand spoil and cannot be used to meet any future demands. After each quarterĂ¢??s demand is satisfied and spoilage is accounted for, a cost of $15 per unit is assessed against the quarterĂ¢??s ending inventory. Assume 1000 units are available initially.
