a) Show what would happen if this plan were implemented.
b) Calculate the costs associated with this plan.
c) Evaluate the plan in terms of cost, customer service, operations, and human resources.

She has asked you to calculate how many hires and fires would be necessary to adjust capacity to meet demand exactly each period. If necessary, incur some undertime.
