StoreAll produces plastic storage bins for household storage needs. The company
makes two sizes of bins: large (50 gallon) and regular (35 gallon). Demand for the
products is so high that StoreAll can sell as many of each size as it can produce. The
company uses the same machinery to produce both sizes. The machinery can be run
for only 3,300 hours per period. StoreAll can produce 10 large bins every hour,
whereas it can produce 17 regular bins in the same amount of time. Fixed costs
amount to $115,000 per period. Sales prices and variable costs are as follows:
