(Prepared from a situation suggested by Professor John W. Hardy.) Lone Star Meat Packers is a mojor processor of beef and other meat products. The company has a large amount of T-bone steak on hand, and it is trying to decide whether to sell the T-bone steaks as they are initially cut or to process them further into filet mignon and the New York cut. If the T-bone steaks are sold as initially cut, the company figures that a 1-pound T-bone steak would yleid the following profit: If the company were to further process the T-bone steaks, then cutting one side of a T-bone steak provides the filet mignon and cutting the other side provides the New York cut. One 16-ounce T-bone steak cut in this way will yleld one 6-ounce fliet mignon and one 8-ounce New York cut, the remaining ounces are waste. It costs $0.13 to further process one T-bone steak into the filet mignon and New York cuts. The filet mignon can be sold for $4.00 per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $3.50 per pound Required: 1.
