Question:

*1. The demand for fishing poles is at its minimum during the month of December and reaches its maximum during the month of April. Fishing Hole, Inc., estimates the December demand at 50 poles. It increases by 10 poles a month until it reaches 90 in April. Thereafter, the demand decreases by 5 poles a month. The setup cost for a production lot is $250, except during the peak demand months of February to April, where it increases to $300. The production cost per pole is approximately constant at $15 throughout the year, and the holding cost per pole per month is $1. Fishing Hole is developing next year's (January through December) production plan. How should it schedule its production facilities?
