Freeze Refrigerator Company purchases ice makers and installs them in its products. The ice makers cost $138 PER CASE and each case contains 12 ice makers. The supplier recently gave advance notice that the price will rise by 50 PERCENT immediately. Freeze Refrigerator Company has idle equipment that with only a few minor changes could be used to produce similar ice makers.

Production and usage are estimated at 75,000 ICE MAKERS A YEAR(Assume that any idle equipment cannot be used for any other purpose.)
