Additional Information Tiny Bits Digital (TBD) produces high end audio and television equipment. One of the company's most popular products is a high-definition personal video recorder (PVR) for use with cable and satellite television systems. Demand has increased rapidly for the PVR over the past three years, given the appeal to customers of being able to easily record programs while they watch live television, watch recorded programs while they record a different program, and save dozens of programs for future viewing on the unit's large internal hard drive. A complex production process is utilized for the PVR involving both laser and imaging equipment. TBD has a monthly production capacity of 4,000 hours on its laser machine and 1,000 hours on its image machine. However, given the recent increase in demand for the PVR, both machines are currently operating at 90% of capacity every month, based on existing orders from customers. Direct labour costs are $15 and $20 per hour to operate, respectively, the laser and image machines.
