Assume that only purchasing costs are being considered. Compute the total processing
time required for each machine type to meet demand, how many of each machine type
would be needed, and the resulting total purchasing cost for each machine type. The
machines will operate 8 hours a day, 240 days a year. (Enter total processing times as
whole numbers. Round up machine quantities to the next higher whole number.
Compute total purchasing costs using these rounded machine quantities. Enter the
resulting total purchasing cost as a whole number. Omit the "$" sign.)

The manager of a car wash must decide whether to have one or two wash lines. One line
will mean a fixed cost of $5,600 a month, and two lines will mean a fixed cost of $8,960 a
month. Each line would be able to process 15 cars an hour. Variable costs will be $3 per
car, and revenue will be $5.95 per car. The manager projects an average demand of
between 14 and 18 cars an hour. Would you recommend one or two lines? The car wash is
open 290 hours a month
