Carlos Garcia, who is paid $8 per hour, is the only person who is trained to operate a machine that is critical in the production of bicycle seats. Each bicycle seat has a contri- bution margin of $6 and requires 1/4 hour of processing time on the machine. Sales of bicycle seats are limited only by scarce time on this machine.
