A company sells sneakers. It plans to start production of a new model in three months. Meanwhile, the current model it produces is not popular among buyers, so the company had to reduce the price. The company will lose $2 on every model produced in the next month. Then, the loss will increase by $1 per model in each following month.
The overall contracted amount is 1,000,000 pairs for the next 3 months. The maximum capacity of the facility is 500,000 pairs monthly. The minimum monthly amount is 250,000 pairs. The penalty for producing less is $100,000 for 200,000 - 249,999 pairs per month and $225,000 for 150,000 - 199,999 pairs per month. The company cannot produce less than 150,000 pairs monthly because anything less than 150,000 pairs will terminate the contract.
The penalty for producing less than the contracted amount (or in case of termination) is $2.50 for every pair of sneakers less than the contracted amount. Additionally, if the company terminates the production of the current model, it will lose this production facility. Relocating to another facility with the same terms and conditions will cost $1,345,000.
Select the Worst and the Best financial scenario among the given choices. Make only one choice in each column.

Best option:
The company produces 250,000, 250,000, and 250,000 pairs in each month respectively and stays in the current facility.
Reason:
if 250000 250000 250000 are made for every month then
Loss suffered
500000+750000+500000 = 1750000 and penalty of 10000 for less pairs. Total 1850000
If 500000 250000 250000 are made for every month then
Loss suffered
1000000+1500000+500000 = 3000000
