A.J.s Wildlife Emporium manufactures two unique bird-feeders (Deluxe and Super Duper) that are manufactured and assembled in up to three different workstations (X, Y, Z) using a small batch process. Each of the products is produced according to the flowchart in Figure 1. Additionally, the flowchart indicates each products processing times per unit. The price of Deluxe is $82/unit and the price of Super Duper is $79/unit. Batch setup times are negligible. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to working at that workstation alone. The plant operates 40 hours per week, with no overtime. Overhead costs are $1,000 per week. Based on the information provided, as well as the information contained in the flowchart, answer the following questions. Always show your work leading to the answer to get credits.
