Each year in May, P.A.M. Cosmetics (Professional Artistry Makeup) launches a selection of limited edition lipsticks. To ensure these lipsticks are in stock in time for the launch, orders must be placed with manufacturers in November. Because these lipsticks are limited edition and require 6 months of lead-time, P.A.M. Cosmetics will not reorder more units if they completely sell out. It costs P.A.M.

The Shirt Works sells a large variety of tee shirts and sweatshirts. Steve Hooper, the owner, is thinking of expanding his sales by hiring high school students, on a commission basis, to sell sweatshirts bearing the name and mascot of the local high school.

Because Hooper's plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the costs of the sweatshirts and the costs of the sales commissions.
