Downs of Plum Engines, a producer of lawn mowers and leaf blowers, must develop an aggregate plan given the forecast for engine demand shown in the table.

Overtime has a cost of $115 per engine. 1 90 2 2 145 3 100 Month 4 5 5 105 115 6 128 7 7 134 8 95 Total 912 Forecast a.

1 20 points b. Compare the costs to a level plan that uses inventory to absorb fluctuations. Inventory carrying cost is $4 per engine per month. Backlog cost is $135 per engine per month. There should not be a backlog in the last month. Set regular production equal to the monthly average of total forecasted demand. Assume that using overtime is not an option. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round average inventory row, Inventory cost row, and Total row values to 1 decimal.) Answer is not complete.
