Kinnear Plastics manufactures various components for the aircraft and marine industry. Kinnear buys plastic from two vendors: Tappan Corporation and Hill Enterprises. Kinnear chooses the vendor based on price. Once the plastic is received, it is inspected to ensure that it is suitable for production. Plastic that is deemed unsuitable is disposed of.

The controller at Kinnear collected the following information on purchases for the past year:

	Tappan	Hill
Total purchases (tons)	5,000	8,000
Plastic discarded	120	480
