Runner Corp. manufactures two models of a fishing reel: Deluxe and Supreme, selling for $90 and $150, respectively. There are only 26,000 hours of the master craftsmen's time available to manufacture reels. Direct labor and other variable costs come to $30 for the Deluxe model and $60 for the Supreme. Total fixed costs equal $70,000. It takes the craftsmen 2 hours to make the Deluxe model and 4 hours for the Supreme. Demand for these reels is such that it is estimated up to 6,000 of each type of reel can be sold.
Required:
