Performance has not been good, so the company expects to receive domestic orders
for only 1,200 units next month at a price of 1,400 per unit. How should the production be
distributed between the plants for optimum economic operation?
A. Plant A should produce 800 units and 400 units for Plant B.
B. Plant A should produce 1,000 units and 200 units for Plant B.
C. Plant A should produce 700 units and 500 units for Plant B.
D. Plant A should produce 900 units and 300 units for Plant B.
1. Develop a level production plan for Covolo Diving Gear. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this plan? Could Covolo implement a pure chase plan, given the current capacity? Why? If sales continue to grow, what are the implications for production capacity at Covolo?
The planner at a company that makes garden tractors is about to prepare an aggregate production plan that will cover the next 6 months. She has collected the following information:

Production per month = 20 units per worker
Initial inventory = 500 units
Desired ending inventory (at the end of month 6) = 0 units
