Relling Corporation manufactures a drink bottle, model CL24. During 2017, Relling produced 210,000 bottles at a total cost of $808,500. Kraff Corporation has offered to supply as many bottles as Relling wants at a cost of $3.75 per bottle. Relling anticipates needing 225,000 bottles each year for the next few years.
Q. Relling’s cost analyst uses annual data from past years to estimate the following regression equation with total manufacturing costs of the drink bottle as the dependent variable and drink bottles produced as the independent variable:y = $445,000 + $1.75XDuring the years used to estimate the regression equation, the production of bottles varied from 200,000 to 235,000.

Reboot Incorporated is a manufacturer of hiking boots. Demand for boots is highly seasonal. In particular, the demand in the next year
is expected to be 4,000, 5,000. 9,000, and 8,000 pairs of boots in quarters 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. With its current production
facility, the company can produce at most 7,000 pairs of boots in any quarter. Reboot would like to meet all the expected demand, so it
will need to carry inventory to meet demand in the later quarters. Each pair of boots sold generates a profit of $20 per pair. Each pair
of boots in inventory at the end of a quarter incurs $8 in storage and capital recovery costs. Reboot has 1,000 pairs of boots in
inventory at the start of quarter 1. Reboot's top management has given you the assignment of doing some spreadsheet modeling to
analyze what the production schedule should be for the next four quarters and making a recommendation.
