More info

The company makes two sizes of bins: large $(50$ gallon$)$ and regular $(35$ gallon$).$ Demand for the products is so high that Container Solutions can sell as many of each size as it can produce. The company uses the same machinery to produce both sizes. The machinery can only be run for $3,500$ hours per period. Container Solutions can produce $12$ large bins every hour, whereas it can produce $17$ regular bins in the same amount of time. Fixed costs amount to $$90,000$ per period
