Question:
Boston's Dairy has just opened its main yogurt factory in upstate Massachusetts. The main factory can produce 3,500 boxes of yogurt monthly (each box contains 12 6oz cups), Due to overwhelming demand for the company's product, Boston's Dairy has signed a contract to rent a new factory, which can produce up to 8,000 boxes per month. The monthly total fixed costs are $40,000 in the main factory and $18,000 in the new factory. The variable production cost in the new factory is $6.00 per box as materials have to be redistributed from the main factory. The average selling price is $15, and the variable selling expense is $1 per box , which is the same for all factories.
