Below is a network. Each node or router has a letter from A to P.

The cost of each link is shown in the graph. The cost of each link is in the middle of the link between the two letters. (It is a perfect grid although the links may not align completely)

The cost of some links is shown as the * symbol. The cost of each of those links correspond the first letter of your last name. If your last name starts with A then the cost of all the links that have a * is 1. If your last name starts with B then the cost of all the links that have a * is 2 (and so on). Assume that the cost of the link is the same in both directions. For example, assume that A to B is 15 and B to A is also 15.

Given the projected demands for the next six months, prepare an aggregate plan that uses inventory, regular time and overtime, and backorders. A level production cost rate of 150 units per month will be used. Backorder cost is $20 per unit, inventory holding cost is $5 per unit, regular time cost of $20 per unit, and beginning inventory is zero.
