The ABC Company has recognized the following demand for the next four quarters: Quarter Demand
1 3000 units
2 4000 units
3 4500 units
4 3500 units
ABC has traditionally used the hiring and firing of workers to accommodate the changes in demand for their products but is considering maintaining a stable workforce and subcontracting production when demand exceeds the capability of the workforce. They currently have 30 workers, each capable of producing 100 units per quarter. It costs them $3000 to hire a worker and $5000 to fire a worker.
If they subcontract the work, it will cost them $30 per unit above their normal production cost. Given this information, should they continue their current practice or move to subcontracting the production over what their current workforce can produce?
