Siberian Ski Company recently expanded its manufacturing capacity, which will allow it to produce up to 15,000 pairs of cross-country skis of the mountaineering model or the touring model. The Sales Department assures management that it can sell between 9,000 pairs and 13,000 pairs of either product this year. Because the models are very similar, Siberian Ski will produce only one of the two models.
