Bombera Ltd operates at capacity and makes glass-topped dining tables and wooden chairs, which are then typically sold as sets of four chairs with one table. However, some customers purchase replacement or extra chairs, and others buy some chairs or a table only, so the sales mix is not exactly 4:1. Bombera Ltd is planning its annual budget for the financial year 2018. Information for 2018 follows:
