PlasFib is a manufacturer of synthetic fiber used for making furniture upholstery. When it is running, the line produces fiber at the rate of 100 pounds per hour.

The setup cost for producing a batch is S200. What is the batch size that PlasFib should produce? How many days of demand does this translate into?
