She defines benefit as her total revenues from sales minus her total cost of resources. The production of all three items require the same three limited resources: leather, metal and labor but in different quantities as indicated below
Shoes (a pair) require 10 oz of leather 2 oz of metal and 3 hours of labor
Belts require 6 oz of leather; 3 oz of metal and 1 hour of labor
Wallets require 3 oz of leather, 1 oz of metal and 2 hours of labor
Shoes can be sold for $50 a pair. Belts can be sold for $30 each. Wallets can be sold for $25 each. Regardless of what item the resource is used for leather cost $ 2 per ounce, metal costs $1 pr ounce and labor cost $7 per hour
Because the three resources are limited she has 5,000 ounces of leather, 3,000 ounces of metal and 2,500 hours of labor - it is important to calculate how much resource is used, show it in a spreadsheet
