is considering the following plans:
Plan 1: Maintain a stable workforce that is capable of producing 1800 units per
period, and meet the demand by overtime at a premium of $50 per unit. Idle time
costs are equivalent to $60 per unit. Do not build to inventory.
Plan 2: Produce at a steady of 1600 units per period, and accept a limited numbe
r of backorders during periods when demand exceeds 1600 units. The stockout cost
of lost sales is $100 per unit. Inventory costs per period are $20 per unit.
Plan 3: Produce at a steady rate equal to minimum requirements of 1400 units and
subtract the additional units at a $75 per unit premium.
Plan 4: Vary the workforce level, which is currently capable of producing 1600 u
nits per period.
The cost of additional workforce per 100 units is $5000, and the cost of layoffs
per 100 units is $7500.
Plan 5: Vary inventory levels, but maintain a stable workforce level by maintain
ing a constant production rate equal to the average requirements. The company ca
n accumulate required inventory before period 1 at no additional cost. The inven

of the shop is believed to be 105%.
How many of each of the machines will be needed if the plant works a 40 hour wee
k?
