Remington Agricultural Products (RAP) produces organic cider with no preservatives. Any production must be sold within a few days, so producing for inventory is not an option. RAPs single plant has the capacity to make 75,600 cases of cider annually. Currently, RAP sells to only two customers: Savery's Organic Produce (SOP) and Griswold Food Stores (a chain of grocery stores). SOP orders 37,800 cases and Griswold orders 12,600 cases annually. Variable manufacturing costs are $25 per case, and annual fixed manufacturing costs are $907,200.

The organic cider business has two seasons, holidays and nonholidays. The holiday season lasts exactly four months (although it feels longer), and the nonholiday season lasts eight months. SOP orders the same amount each month, so SOP orders 12,600 packages during the holidays and 25,200 packages in the nonholiday season. Griswold only carries the organic cider during the holidays.
