- North Platt Machinery Company manufactures a shaft that must fit inside a sleeve. The firm has just received an order of 58,000 units from Southernstar Exploration Company for $68 per unit. North Platt can manufacture the shaft at $38 per unit. Southernstar desires the diameter of the shaft to be 1.283 cm. The diameter of the shaft must not be less than 1.258 cm in order to fit properly inside the sleeve.
