Answer:

Shortage cost for May is $71,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected demand for the month of May is 5000 units.

Shortages for month are carried to next month.

Shortage cost is $10 per month.

(Working days per month x hrs/day x # of workers)

20 days * 8 hours * 23 workers = 3680

Jan : 3680 - 3500 = +180

Feb : 3680 + 180 - 4500 = -640

Mar : 3680 - 640 -6000 = -2980

Apr : 3680 - 2980 -6500 = 5780

May : 3680 - 5780 -5000 = 7100
