The line includes a single, a loveseat, and a couch. Appendix 1 shows the production process. Two groups of indirect labour, general factory labour and tailors, build the recliners. General factory labour does all the manufacturing work except the final assembly of the recliner cushions, which is done by the tailors. WC treats all labour as manufacturing overhead. General factory labour is paid a salary and benefits totalling $58,000 per year. General factory labour is expected to work 49 weeks a year, 5 days a week, and 8 hours per day. General factory labour is allowed two fifteen-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch break each day. WC pays tailors salary and benefits totalling $65,000 per year. Tailors are expected to work 48 weeks a year, 5 days a week, and 8 hours per day. Tailors are allowed two 15- minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch break each day.

Tailors begin the final cushion manufacturing process by sewing leather pieces into partially assembled cushions. Then the tailors insert the foam pieces into the partially assembled cushions and complete the sewing to produce the cushions. The cushions are then fastened to the frames which completes the manufacturing process. Variable factory overhead is $22 per general factory labour hour and $24 per tailor labour hour.
