Dave's Stove-Top Popcorn currently has three full-time employees who are each paid $1,300 per month. An employee can only work a maximum of 100 hours per month because production normally takes place at night. They do receive $1,300 even if they do not work 100 hours, however. Part-time employees can be hired at a cost of $50 per hour. Dave's Stove-Top Popcorn has forecasted that demand for the next six months will be as follows: Month 1 2 3 4 5 6 Hours 350 295 420 420 520 110
