The annual demand for a product has been projected at 2,000 units. This demand is assumed to be constant throughout the year. The ordering cost is $20 per order, and the holding cost is 20 percent of the purchase cost. The purchase cost is $40 per unit. There are 250 working days per year. Currently, the company is ordering 500 units each time an order is placed. Assuming the company uses a stock of 20 units resulting in a reorder point of 60 units, what is the expected lead-time for delivery?

The total weekly revenue (in dollars) of the Country Workshop realized in manufacturing and selling its rolltop desks is given by $$ R(x, y)=-0.2 x^{2}-0.25 y^{2}-0.2 x y+200 x+160 y $$ where $x$ denotes the number of finished units and $y$ denotes the number of unfinished units manufactured and sold each week. The total weekly cost attributable to the manufacture of these desks is given by $$ C(x, y)=100 x+70 y+4000 $$ dollars. Determine how many finished units and how many unfinished units the company should manufacture each week to maximize its profit. What is the maximum profit realizable?
