We are a large company producing consumer products for supermarket house brands such as shopRite, A&P and Kirkland. Although we own five factories for producing paper towels. All of our factories have about the same capacity but some are more efficient than others.

factory a Illinois $15

factory b New Jersey $19

factory c Ohio $14.05

factory D Ohio (Dayton) $16.05

factory e Pennsylvania $17.50

question- because of the recent economic downturn we closed two of the factories and the remaining three are still in operation. Which three factories do you expect to still be in operation?

part b- prices (the wholesale price per case that we can get from the companies that that buy from us) have just gone up, so we decide to increase output and resume production in dollar per case?
