Based on the Sanotronics LLC example, what is the best-case assumption for demand?

• A. 0 units.
• B. 15,000 units.
• C. 30,000 units.
• D. 45,000 units.

Answer: (C)

In demand planning under capacity limits, the best-case demand is the level you can actually satisfy with your production capability. It’s the most optimistic scenario that still fits what you can produce, so there are no missed sales due to stockouts.

In the Sanotronics LLC example, the best-case assumption for demand is the level that matches the production capacity—you can meet all demand without exceeding what you can produce. The other options either imply no sales (0), underutilize capacity (a smaller demand), or exceed capacity (demand that you can’t fully satisfy), which makes them less favorable as a best-case.
