1. A jelly bean distributor had a Dec 31, 2015 ending inventory of  $17,000 and has the following accounting information for this year.

2. A New York motorcycle manufacturer (Hot Rodz) has the option to make or buy tires. The annual requirement is 20,000 tires. A supplier is able to supply the tires for $100 each. Hot Rodz estimates that it costs $6000 to prepare the contract with the supplier. To make the parts in-house, Hot Rodz must invest $50,000 in capital equipment and estimates that the tires cost $75 each.

3. Given the following production plan, use a (a) chase production strategy and (b) level production strategy to compute the monthly production, ending inventory/(backlog) and workforce levels. A worker is capable of producing 500 units per month. Assume the beginning inventory as of January is zero, and the firm desires to have zero inventory at the end of December.

4. Given the following production schedule, compute the available-to-promise quantities.
