     Plastic: 0.50 lb. per unit of product; cost is $0.80 per pound
     Need: Wood 290ft
     Need: Plastic: 340 lbs.
    = 360 houses to sell at $22 per unit


    Direct labor requirements for the first month:
    Bird House
     Fabrication 0.20 hr. at $15 per hour
     Assembly 0.30 hr. at $11 per hour
