Healthy Foods incurs the following costs (in thousands): Plant utilities.. $ 900 Depreciation on plant and equipment... 2,500 Production costs of "cents-off" store coupons for customers Delivery truck drivers' wages S 600 250 Payment to chef for developing Cream 1,300 new low-fat recipe. 1,200 Sales commissions: 400 Salt....... 20 Plant janitors' wages. 1,000 Replace products with expired dates upon customer Wages of workers who debone chicken 10,000 complaint 50 Customer hotline for recipes Rearranging plant layout to and problems. 200 smooth production flow..... 1,100 Depreciation on delivery Chicken. 18.000 truck. 150 Mushrooms and peppers 1,000 Freight-in. 1.500 Total $40.170 Required 1.
