Zwinger Nursery plans to sell a similar fertilizer$/$weedkiller compound through its regional nursery chain under its own private label. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.

Required $1$

Refer to the original data. Assume Zwinger Nursery plans to place regular orders for $22,000-$pound lots of the new compound.

Wesco expects the demand for GrowNWeed to remain strong. Therefore, the recurring orders from Zwinger would put Wesco

over its two$-$shift capacity. However, production could be scheduled so that $60\%$ of each Zwinger order could be completed

during regular hours. As another option, some GrowNWeed production could be shifted temporarily to overtime so the

Zwinger orders could be produced on regular time. Current market prices are the best available estimates of future market

prices.

Wesco's standard markup percentage for new products is $40\%$ of the full manufacturing cost, including fixed manufacturing

overhead. Calculate the price Wesco, Incorporated, would quote Zwinger Nursery for each $22,000-$pound lot using the

standard markup percentage.

Note: Round your intermediate DLHs to the nearest whole hour. Round all other intermediate calculations and final answers to

$2$ decimal places.

Zwinger does not have manufacturing facilities of its own, so it has asked Wesco $($and several other companies$)$ to submit a bid for

manufacturing and delivering a $22,000-$pound order of the private brand compound to Zwinger. While the chemical composition of the

Zwinger compound differs from GrowNWeed, the manufacturing processes are very similar.
