Managers believe they could sell 15,000 tackle boxes if the company had sufficient manufacturing capacity. Rod-N-Reel has offered to supply 10,000 tackle boxes per year at a price of $67 per box, including delivery to Cullumbers facility. Cedric Smith, Cullumbers product manager, believes the company could make better use of its plastics department by manufacturing skateboards. A marketing report indicates that 18,100 skateboards could be sold at a price of $47 each. Variable costs to make the boards would be $24.41 per board. Cullumber has three options:

1.	Make and sell 12,000 tackle boxes.
2.	Make 12,000 tackle boxes, buy 3,000 additional tackle boxes, and sell 15,000 tackle boxes.
3.	Make and sell 18,100 skateboards, and buy and sell 10,000 tackle boxes.
