More info

Dairyplus sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk,

one$-$gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $$840,$ yields $750$ gallons

of plain yogurt. Dairyplus sells the one$-$gallon tubs for $$7$ each, and spends $$0\mathrm{.}20$

for each plastic tub. Dairyplus has recently begun to reconsider its strategy.

Dairyplus wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual$-$size portions of

fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. Dairyplus could further process each

batch of plain yogurt into $16,000$ individual portions $(3/4$ cup each$)$ of fruited yogurt.

A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. Dairyplus

would sell each individual portion for $$0\mathrm{.}52.$ Packaging would cost $$0\mathrm{.}14$

per portion, and fruit would cost $$0\mathrm{.}15$ per portion. Fixed costs would not change.
