Kroger, the country's leading grocery-only chain, added a line of private label organic and natural foods call Simple Truth to its stores. If you've priced organic foods, you know they are more expensive For example, a dozen conventionally farmed Grade-A eggs at Kroger costs consumers $1.30, whereas Simple Truth eggs are priced at $2 30 per dozen. One study found that, overall, the average price of organic foods is 85 percent more than conventional foods. However, if prices get too high, consumers will not purchase the organic options. One element of sustainability is organic farming, which costs much more than conventional farming, and those higher costs are passed on to consumers. Suppose that a conventional egg farmer's average fixed costs per year for conventionally farmed eggs are $1 million per year, but an organic egg farmer's foxed costs are three times that amount. The organic farmer's variable costs of $1.80 per dozen are twice as much as a conventional farmer's variable costs. Most large egg farmers sell eggs directly to retailers Using Kroger's prices, what is the farmer's price per dozen to the retailer for conventional and organic eggs if Kroger's margin is 40 percent based on its retail price? The price the farmer sells a dozen of conventional eggs is $(Round to the nearest cent)
