Problem - Jebb's Lettuce Stand currently sells 60,000 heads of lettuce each year for $1.00 per head. Jebb is thinking of expanding Operations and serving the customer better by purchasing a "slice and dice" machine that will cut up each head of lettuce into bite-size pieces that can be used for salads. Jebb expects he will then be able to sell his lettuce for $1.70 per head. Jebb has prepared the following analysis for each option based on sales of 60,000 heads of lettuce:

 

Per Head

Total

Selling Unsliced Lettuce:

 

 

Variable costs

$15,000

$18,000

Fixed costs

54,000
