1. A buyer in the mens clothing department of a major department store has forecasted sales of two-piece suits at $270,000 for the coming fall-winter season. The department carries two price lines of mens two-piece suits at $225 and $275. The former line accounts for 70% of the season sales; the latter accounts for the remaining 30%. Both price lines of suits come in three basic styles

• Two-button suits account for 25% of the sales in both price lines
• Three-button suits account for 50% of the volume in the $225 price line and 60% in the $275 price line
• Double-breasted suits account for 25% in the $225 price line and 15% in the $275 line.

Two-piece suits = $225 price line
