he New England Cheese Company produces two cheese spreads by blending mild cheddar cheese with extra sharp cheddar cheese. The cheese spreads are packaged in 12-ounce ontainers, which are then sold to distributors throughout the Northeast. The Regular blend contains 80% mild cheddar and 20% extra sharp, and the Zesty blend contains 60% mild heddar and 40% extra sharp. This year, a local dairy cooperative offered to provide up to 7,920 pounds of mild cheddar cheese for $1.20 per pound and up to 2,955 pounds of extra harp cheddar cheese for $1.40 per pound. The cost to blend and package the cheese spreads, excluding the cost of the cheese, is $0.20 per container. If each container of Regular is sold or $1.90 and each container of Zesty is sold for $2.20, how many containers of Regular and Zesty should New England Cheese produce?

- The Laiterie de Coaticook in the Eastern Townships of Quebec produces several types of cheddar cheese. It markets this cheese in four varieties: aged 2 months, 9 months, 15 months, and 2 years. At the producer's store, 2 kg of each variety sell for the following prices: $8.50, $10.00, $11.50, and $12.50, respectively. Consider the cheese maker's decision whether to continue to age a particular 2-pound block of cheese. At 2 months, he can either sell the cheese immediately or let it age further. If he sells it now, he will receive $8.50 immediately. If he ages the cheese, he must give up the $8.50 today to receive a higher amount in the future. What is the IRR (expressed in percent per month) of the investment of giving up $85.00 today by choosing to store 20 kg of cheese that is currently 2 months old and instead selling 10 kg of this cheese when it has aged 9 months, 6 kg when it has aged 15 months, and the remaining 4 kg when it has aged 2 years? The IRR is % per month. (Enter your…Dairyplus processes organic milk into plain yogurt. Dairyplus sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers.

- Bart’s Butters receives 1,000,000 containers of raw milk each period that it subsequently processes into consumable milk by adjusting the fat content, adding vitamins, and destroying any potentially harmful bacteria. For Bart’s, one container equals one gallon of consumable milk. Bart’s then must decide whether to sell its consumable milk at split-off or to process it further into butter. Bart’s normally sells consumable milk for a per-gallon price of $3.
