After 10 years of production, the chemical manufacturing plant has become very successful. Because of its success, a great demand for products came as many consumers wanted the company to sell them their products. To meet the demand, three alternatives were considered. Work overtime to meet demands. Annual overtime expenses are $500,000. Expand the plant to accommodate more production. Fixed annual expenses are $2,500,000. Make a contract with another company to produce additional products at a rate of $1,000,000. The cost of manufacturing products from the three alternatives are $3500, $3000 and $3250 per unit respectively. The plant sells every unit made regardless of how they were made at $15,000 per unit. The expected demand for the product is 150 units with a probability of 50% 250 units with a probability of 35% 350 units with a probability of 7.5% 400 units with a probability of 5% 500 units with a probability of 2.5%arrow_forward
