During the first stage of the process liquids and chemicals costing $60,000 are heated and three different compounds emerge: 3,000 gallons of Molecue worth $22 per gallon are created from the steam; 10,000 gallons of Borphue worth $15 are drained from the tank; and 1,000 gallons of the tank residue, labeled as Polygard, are sold as fertilizer for $5.50 per gallon. Before Molecue is sold, it must be purified in another process that costs $10,000, and before the Polygard fertilizer is sold, it must be bottled at a price of $1.50 per gallon.
