Dairyfood processes organic milk into plain yogurt. Dairyfood sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nu estaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $870, yields 450 gallons of plain yogurt. The company sells the one-gallon tubs for $6.00 each and spends $0.12 for each plastic tub. Dairyfood 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. Dairyfood could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 9,600 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. Dairyfood would sell each individual portion for $0.48. Packaging would cost $0.07 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.11 per portion. Fixed costs would not change.
