My total forecasted demand was 500 units, and my available operating capacity was 520 units. I decided to sale my product to the Mercedes group for $3800.00/unit with a $100 rebate/unit and sold my product to the travelers for $3000.00/unit with a $100/rebate. I operated at 100% capacity for Quarter 2. I sold out of both products, under estimating my consumers. For the Mercedes group, I lost out on 158 sales and for the Travelers I lost out on 74 sales.

Thanks to the common stock I sold this quarter, I still had a cash balance over a million dollars which helped me make changes for quarter 3.…
