Leonard’s Orchard grows cherries. In July, as the cherries are picked, they are sorted into grades. They sell the Grade A cherries at their roadside stand for $5 per kilogram. Grade B cherries can also be sold at the roadside stand but they sell for only $3 per kilogram. Leonard also has a canning and freezing facility at his orchard so that he can process the cherries further should he wish.
Each batch of 1,000 kg of cherries that are picked yields the following quantities:
Quantity |
|
Grade A Cherries |
700 kg |
Grade B Cherries |
300 kg |
Each batch of 1,000 kg of cherries costs $500 to grow and pick.
Leonard is considering processing all of the Grade A cherries into Frozen Cherries. This will cost an additional $200 but he will be able to sell 700 kg of Frozen Cherries for $5,000 in total. He is also considering processing all of the Grade B cherries into Canned Cherry Pie Filling. This processing will cost $400 but he will be able to sell 300 kg of Canned Cherry Pie Filling for $1,200 in total.
