Snowmobile Inc. manufactures two colours of snowmobiles: White and Black. Marketing believes that it can sell between 12,000 and 18,000 of either product during the upcoming year.

For next year, fixed costs will total $9,450,000 if White is produced and $11,640,000 if Black is produced. Plant capacity allows up to 107,800 direct manufacturing hours. White takes 9.8 hours to produce and Black requires 11 hours. The company is subject to a 30 percent income tax rate.
