Abica Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of $6,100$ pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is $6,100$ pounds, which cost $$6$ per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $$9$ per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $$12$ per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $$12,554$ per batch. The additional processing also causes a $5\%$ loss of product due to evaporation.
