Background Information I SEE THE LIGHT I SEE THE LIGHT (ISTL) is a subchapter S corporation that manufactures children's lamps/nightlights for use in bedrooms. These lamps are sold nationwide through a group of independent sales representatives who have an exclusive sales region. The business is in its tenth year and has asked you to assist in planning for next year's operations. The lamps are ceramic figurines of animals, boats, boys and girls playing and singing, all in delightful colors. The owner of the business, Big Al, creates a drawing for the figurine and faxes it to a plant in China where a mold is created and a sample produced and hand painted. If the mold meets the expectations of Big Al an order of 500 lamp parts is placed. Each lamp kit consists of the parts required to complete one lamp; a figurine, a lamp shade and the required electrical components. There are presently 10 different figurines that come in six different colors; 60 models. There are presently 10 workers in the plant. They are responsible for receiving the raw material, manufacturing the product, packing and shipping.
