Consider the aggregate planning problem for a toy car manufacturing organization whose demand at a plant is as follows:

Month	September	October	November	December
Demand (in units)	8000	6500	10500	950

The organization has ONLY the following options available for aggregate planning to meet the demand: (1) in-house production, (2) subcontracting, and (3) inventory holding. Assume that the quantity subcontracted in a given month is available in the same month.

A part of their optimal solution is as follows:

Inventory at the end of October = 1500 units

Units produced in-house in November = 8000 units

Units subcontracted in November = 1000 units

The inventory at the end of November is _____ units (in integer).
