18. Pacific Chemical Products, Inc. produces a liquid laundry detergent and is currently in the
process of developing an aggregate plan for the upcoming year. They don't know whether to use
a level production or a chase demand approach. The costs that they are concerned with are the
cost of hiring more workers, the cost of laying off workers, and the cost of carrying inventory.
Currently at Pacific there are 124 workers. It costs $200 to hire a new worker, the cost of laying
off one worker is $250, and the inventory-carrying cost per unit per quarter is $4. The company
has 65 working days per quarter and each person works only an 8 hour day. The labor standard
for each gallon of detergent is 1.5 hours, and the forecasted demand for the next four quarters is

19. The bill of materials (BOM) for end item A is shown below:
a.
If A has a gross requirement to build 250 units and an on-hand inventory for Aof 40,
determine the net requirement for D if its current on-hand inventory balance
for D is 20 (all other components have no current inventory).
