I only need solution to (f) below. The other threads already answered question (a) to (e). Thank you.
Chad Davis, vice president for operations at C&C Sports, is considering different strategies for managing the companys inventory. Earlier in the year, the company implemented a more systematic production schedule so that at the end of each month Finished Goods Inventory is 25% of the next months anticipated sales. That strategy freed a lot of inventory space and improved the companys cash flow. However, Chad noticed that because of the seasonal nature of the purchases of all of the products, especially award jackets, the need for direct labor hours fluctuated widely from one month to the next. Even though Chad is able to hire workers as needed, he is concerned that eventually he wont be able to find skilled workers unless they are promised a more consistent schedule. For C&C Sports, labor and sewing machines are constrained resources. The company can produce as many of their products as they have people to make them. Chad gathered the following unit sales and cost information about each product.
