Plan production for a four-month period: February through May.  For February and March, you should produce to exact demand forecast.  For April and May, you should use overtime and inventory with a stable workforce; stable means that the number of workers needed for March will be held constant through May.  However, government constraints put a maximum of 5,000 hours of overtime labor per month in April and May (zero overtime in February and March). If demand exceeds supply, then backorders occur.  There are 100 workers on January 31.  You are given the following demand forecast: February, 90,000; March 65,000; April 110,000; May, 55,000.  Productivity is four units per worker hour, eight hours per day, 20 days per month.  Assume zero inventory on February 1.  Costs are hiring, $50 per new worker; layoff, $70 per worker laid off; inventory holding, $10 per unit-month; straight-time labor, $10 per hour; overtime, $15 per hour; backorder, $20 per unit a. Find the total cost of this plan?

Zan Azlett and Angela Zesiger have joined forces to start​ A&Z Lettuce​ Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. Zan has years of food processing​ experience, and Angela has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then​ sorting, washing,​ slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce.​ Together, with help from​ vendors, they think they can adequately estimate​ demand, fixed​ costs, revenues, and variable cost per bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed costs of $40,000 and variable costs of $2.00 per bag. A more mechanized process will have fixed costs of $72,000 per month with variable costs of $1.25 per bag. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $3.00 per bag. ​a) The​ break-even quantity in units for the manual process​ = enter your response here bags ​(round your response to the nearest whole​ number). ​b) The revenue…
