Wildhorse Innovations, Inc. produces exercise and fitness gear. Two of its newer products require a finishing process that can only be completed on machines that were recently purchased for this purpose. The machines have a maximum capacity of 10,500 machine hours, and no other products that the company makes use these machines. Sarah Jacob, the company's operations manager, is preparing the production schedule for the coming month and can't seem to find enough machine time to produce enough units to meet the customer demand that the marketing department has included in the sales budget.
