Legacy Roofing Global Ltd specialises in roofing sheets manufacturing producing three variants below:

1. Basic - this is transparent mainly for use on garden sheds.
2. Standard - standard quality house roofing sheets.
3. Premium - high quality house roofing sheets.

Each of these roofing sheets uses Special Weatherproof Material which blocks outside weather from affecting indoors. Due to industrial actions, the maximum supply of the Special Weatherproof Material as confirmed by Protect Supplies Ltd, the supplier is 312,300 metres.

Maximum market demand and resource requirements of each of these roofing sheets for year 2024 are shown below:

Budgeted data year ending 31 August 2024

	Basic	Standard	Premium
Maximum demand	11,000	31,000	23,000
Special Weatherproof Material per sheet (metres)	2 Metres	5 Metres	6 Metres

Legacy Roofing Global Ltd's employs a low cost and no-frills strategy aiming value for money delivery to its customers. To curtail high cost of stock storage, Legacy Roofing Global Ltd operates on a just-in-time production (JIT) method so that opening and closing inventory levels of the Special Weatherproof Material are zero.

Without mandate, Amelia Rose Legacy Roofing Global Ltd's Sales Director has already accepted an order for 12,000 Standard Roofing Sheets Contract to Rolco Construction Group that, if not fulfilled, would incur a financial penalty of 18,000. This order is not included in the Standard's maximum market demand figure. This implies Legacy Roofing Global Ltd should prioritise fulfilment of the Standard Roofing Sheets Contract ahead of normal annual demand requirements. The contract selling price per Standard Roofing Sheet is the same as normal Standard Roofing Sheets.

Legacy Roofing Global Ltd's directors need to know whether they should go ahead and satisfy the contract and then prioritise production in the normal way or whether it should consider breaching the Rolco Construction Group's Standard Roofing Sheets Contract.
