2. Once you have completed the tables, examine the list of orders for this model bicycle and determine specifically what information should be given to the perspective customer. For example, if the order request was for 40 bicycles (with defined options) in week 4 and it appears that only 32 could be delivered, then you should be telling the customer that they can have only 32 in week 4 and then the rest could be delivered at a later week (you should be specific as to WHICH week). Assume the orders listed for evaluation are NOT cumulative—in other words, evaluate each requested order independently ignoring the existence of the other requested orders for the evaluation of this one order.

Here are the orders to evaluate. Again you are reminded to treat these independently. For example, when you evaluate order number 2, ignore the other order requests (1,3, and 4), and so forth.

a. A customer is asking about an order of 32 of the bicycles for week 3. All 32 are to be 18 speed, 12 are to have straight handle-bars, and 14 are to have the light set.

b. A customer is asking about an order of 60 of the bicycles for week 6. Fifty of them are to be 18 speed, 12 are to have straight handlebars, and 5 to have the light set.

c. A customer is asking about an order of 20 of the bicycles for week 2. All are to be 18 speed, all are to have straight handlebars, and all are to have the light set.

d. A customer is asking about an order of 110 of the bicycles in week 7. Sixty are to be 18 speed, 22 are to be straight handlebars, and 15 are to have the light set.
