Seven ounces of plastic resin are needed to produce every boomerang. Mate likes to have enough plastic resin on hand at the end of the month to cover 25% of the next month\'s production requirements. Mate also likes to maintain a finished goods inventory equal to 10% of next month's estimated sales.
