Question 87

Multiple Choice

When Patricia Flagg's friend asked her create something to sell at a holiday boutique food booth, she had no idea she was launching a new business. For her initial product she packaged eleven different kinds of beans, some herbs, and some spices with directions to add a ham hock, water, and vegetables for Minnesota Heartland soup. She has since added Illinois Prairie Corn chowder, which has dry corn, rice, and seasonings, as well as a Louisiana Red Bean gumbo mix and a New England fish soup mix. Each mix makes enough to feed 10 people. Her annual fixed costs are $9,000, and the variable costs for one bag of soup mix are $1.50. An individual bag of soup mix sells for $6.50. In her first year of operation, she sold 3,800 mixes.

A) 1,385 packages
B) 1,800 packages
