Burge, Inc. is a wholesale distributor supplying a wide range of sporting equipment to large chain stores. The company is known for its quality products. Many times demand is so great that the company purchases some products from carefully screened suppliers to meet customer orders. About 60% of the products it sells come from suppliers and the remaining is manufactured internally.
Currently, the company has a Plastics Division that is manufacturing ski boots. Burge is able to manufacture and sell 5,000 pairs of ski boots annually, making full use of its machine capacity. Here is the selling price and costs associated with making ski boots:

Molded Plastic : (8)
Other Direct Materials: (12)
Machine time: ($16 per hr) (24)
