Billy G.'s Landscaping is looking forward to doing the annual Spring fertilizing service for its clients. They bill their client per square foot of lawn,and are exploring 3 options: hand spreading, broadcast spreading, and power spreading. These options have different cost structures, and are each better suited for different sized lawns. Each option has a fixed cost and variable cost as shown below. The hand spreading is probably best for small lawns, as it is the cheapest to setup, costing only $10 fixed cost, but has a higher cost per square foot of 1 cent. The broadcast spreading option has fixed cost of $25 per lawn, but variable costs are .8 cents (eight-tenths of one cent, or .008 dollars). Finally, the power spreading option costs $50 to set up, but lowers the variable cost per square foot to .4 cents (four-tenths of one cent).
