JokersRWild makes playing cards in several different styles, but a standard deck of cards is used for planning purposes. The average worker at JokersRWild can make 10,000 sets of decks of cards per month at a cost of $1.10 per deck during regular production and $1.40 during overtime. The company currently employs 15 workers. Experience shows that it costs $550 to hire a worker and $550 to fire a worker. Inventory carrying cost is $.26 per deck per month.

The beginning inventory is 30,000, and at least that amount is desired each month. Assume hiring and layoff/firing, if necessary, occur at the beginning of the month.
