Cherillee Toys makes a fiberglass tricycle for kids that is composed of three major components: a handlebar-front wheel-pedal assembly, a seat, and frame unit, and rear wheels. The company has orders for 12,000 of these tricycles. The company does not have the resources available to manufacture everything needed for the completion of 12,000 tricycles so it has gathered purchase information for each component.

The following table shows relevant information:
