Based on the given data, we prepare Product Tree as shown below:

Based on the above product tree, we find the gross quantities required for making 50 brackets as shown below. We traverse from top to bottom:

Thus, the gross quantities required are:

Handle = 50 + 150 = 200

Castings = 100 + 300 = 400

Bearings = 100

Shaft = 50

Springs = 50
