Problem 1: Zach owns a "you-pick" blueberry farm. He owns a variety of young plants that he sells to customers that visit the farm. The variety of blueberries that Zach sells starts producing berries when the plant is three years old. Currently, Zach could sell his two-year old plants to customers in a pot. Alternatively, he could wait one year, and deliver and install the berry-producing plants. Which of the following information would be irrelevant to Zach's decision to sell this inventory now or process further? (Check all that apply.)

A. Fixed costs associated with land maintenance

B. Variable costs incurred during the first two years

C. Risks of poor weather and plant disease associated with processing the two-year old plants further

D. Variable costs incurred during the additional year
