Acme estimates it costs $1.50 per month for each unit of this appliance carried in inventory (estimated byaveraging the beginning and ending inventory levels each month). Currently, Acme has 120 units ininventory on hand for this product. To maintain a level workforce, the company wants to produce at least 400units per month.
