dairyfood processes organic milk into plain yogurt.

sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of

$860,

yields

1,050

gallons of plain yogurt.

Dairyfood

sells the one-gallon tubs for

$10

each, and spends

$0.14

for each plastic tub.

Dairyfood

has recently begun to reconsider its strategy.

Dairyfood

wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-size portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores.

Dairyfood

could further process each batch of plain yogurt into

22,400

individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists.

Dairyfood

would sell each individual portion for

$0.58.

Packaging would cost

$0.06

per portion, and fruit would cost

$0.15

per portion. Fixed costs would not change.

Dairyfood

continue to sell only the gallon-size plain yogurt (sell as is) or convert the plain yogurt into individual-size portions of fruited yogurt (process further)? Why? (Use a minus sign or parentheses for amounts that are typically shown enclosed in parentheses in a sell or process further decision.)
