Eric is the director of the Project Management program in a local carpenter workshop. He is trying to figure out how many hours his team can work in a period of 4 months. There are 9 full-time employees that can work 40 hours per week with 8 hours per weekday, and 2 part-time employees that can work 20 hours per week on any of the weekdays. In the coming months, there are 3 public holidays. One of the two part-time employees would be scheduled to work on each of the 3 public holidays, and each of them would still have a total of 20 hours per week. Also, 2 full-time employees have booked 2 separate weeks off for vacation.  Given this info, how many hours of work could Eric allocate to his team (including himself) ?
