Peter’s Grocery is an Italian market that sells imported meats and cheeses. The company is thinking of using a portion of their store space to sell ready-made sandwiches with ingredients from the store. The main components of the sandwiches are 100 grams of salami (meat), 1 slice of provolone (cheese) and one bun. The salami sells for $2 per 100 grams and costs the company $0.75 per 100 grams. Provolone sells for $0.50 per slice and costs the store $0.35 per slice. The buns cost the company $2.40 per dozen to make, and sell for $4.80 per dozen.

Kroger, the country’s leading grocery-only chain, added a line of private-label organic and natural foods call Simple Truth to its stores. If you’ve priced organic foods, you know they are more expensive. For example, a dozen conventionally farmed grade-A eggs at Kroger costs consumers $1.70, whereas Simple Truth eggs are priced at $3.50 per dozen. One study found that, overall, the average price of organic foods is 85 percent more than conventional foods. However, if prices get too high, consumers will not purchase the organic options. One element of sustainability is organic farming, which costs much more than conventional farming, and those higher costs are passed on to consumers. Suppose that a conventional egg farmer’s average fixed costs per year for conventionally farmed eggs are $1 million per year, but an organic egg farmer’s fixed costs are three times that amount. The organic farmer’s variable costs of $1.80 per dozen are twice as much as conventional farmer’s variable…
