Jet skis and snowmobiles are assembled by Mobile Incorporated. Because both end$-$items use

the same small engine, you can aggregate demand for the engine assembly. Develop an

aggregate plan that uses a level production strategy each quarter and the information that

follows. What is the total cost? Assume lost sales are backordered and filled during the next

quarter. Summarize the plan, its costs, and consequences using manual computations.

Initial Inventory Level $=1,000$ units

Regular Time $=$ $$15$

Lost Sales Cost$/$Unit $=$ $$24$

Inventory Carry Cost per unit $=$ $$3.$
