The Wood Valley Dairy makes cheese to supply to stores in its area. The dairy can make 454 pounds of cheese per day (355 days per year), and the demand at area stores is 62 pounds per day. Each time the dairy makes cheese, it costs $295 to set up the production process. The annual cost of carrying a pound of cheese in a refrigerated storage area is $1.01. Determine the minimum total annual cost.

Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
