Good morning interns, This is Ms. Gorman from the sales department. We have just secured a new, multi-million-dollar account! We are so good here in the sales department of Heavy-Duty Box Inc. The manufacturing director, Mr. Tsosie, has instructed me to send this problem out to all of you as this will be a deciding factor in which of you get offered the full-time positions available at the end of the internship! Our new client, Beastie Bearings Inc., needs the heaviest duty box we make here at Heavy-Duty Box for their bearings. The following email from Ms. Venegas from Beastie Bearings provides the information you will need. Remember, our mark-up sales price is 150% of what it costs us to manufacture the product. The cheaper it is for us to produce the box, the lower the cost for our client. There is also a grading rubric attached that Mr. Tsosie will be utilizing in evaluating your work. I would advise you to follow it well if you want a position!   Good luck interns,   Ms. Frances Gorman   Email from Ms. Venegas: Hello Frances, the boxes we require need to have a volume of 108 cubic centimeters. The boxes need to be rectangular in shape with the length twice as long as the width (see picture). All dimensions must be to within the nearest 10,000th of a centimeter. We also require that the boxes be made of the sturdiest material you have. Please let me know what the price per box will be so I can procure the requisition order. Thank you, Sally Venegas Purchasing Technician
