Mercia Chocolates produces gourmet chocolate products with no preservatives. Any production must be sold within a few days, so producing for inventory is not an option. Mercias single plant has the capacity to make 109,800 packages of chocolate annually. Currently, Mercia sells to only two customers: Verns Chocolates (a specialty candy store chain) and Mega Stores (a chain of department stores). Verns orders 54,900 packages and Mega Stores orders 20,500 packages annually. Variable manufacturing costs are $21 per package, and annual fixed manufacturing costs are $570,000.

The gourmet chocolate business has two seasons, holidays and non-holidays. The holiday season lasts exactly four months and the non-holiday season lasts eight months. Verns orders the same amount each month, so Verns orders 18,300 packages during the holidays and 36,600 packages in the non-holiday season. Mega Stores only carries Mercias chocolates during the holidays.
