Production per hour = 10*0.25= 2.5 units/hr

Production rate per day = 10*2 = 20 units per day

Total inventory carrying cost = 3500*7 = $24500

Total regular production cost = $640*175 days = $112000

Total subcontracting cost = $20*16600 = $332000

Total cost of plan = $24500+$112000 + $332000 = $468500?
