The rapid growth of C. R. Plastics over the last several years has resulted in the need for the company to expand production capacity. Historically, the company has run a single shift during the off-season and then added second and third shifts during the highly seasonal plastic furniture sales season characteristic of the industry. Mr. Bailey, the owner, has considered the idea of running production at a constant level during the year-level loading, running two shifts during the entire year. He estimates there would be an additional $550,000 outlay of capital to purchase the equipment required to continue with the seasonal production as contrasted to level loading production processes. Additional savings and costs between the alternative processes will ultimately impact the projected profitability of the company as outlined below.
