Processes organic milk into plain yogurt. organicmaid sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. each batch, processed at a cost of $ 820, yields 615 gallons of plain yogurt. the company sells the one-gallon tubs for $ 6.00 each and spends $ 0.12 for each plastic tub. organicmaid has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. management wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. organicmaid could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 13 comma 120 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. a recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. organicmaid would sell each individual portion for $ 0.54. packaging would cost $ 0.05 per portion, and fruit would cost $ 0.11 per portion. fixed costs would not change. should organicmaid continue to sell only the gallon-sized plain yogurt (sell as is) or convert the plain yogurt into individual-sized portions of fruited yogurt (process further)? why?

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: you can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. if you pick the lump sum, you get $2,950 today. if you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. 1) at an interest rate of 6% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 2) at an interest rate of 9% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 3) years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. by wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. she must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. what is the best advice to give your friend? a) the lump sum is always better. b) the payments over time are always better. c) it will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator. d) none of these answers is good advice.
