Howard's Apple Farm makes applesauce and apple juice from their apples. It costs $0.80 to produce a jar of applesauce and $0.60 to produce a bottle of apple juice. The farm requires that no less than 20% and no more than 60% of its output be applesauce. The farm can meet the demand for each product no matter the quantity, so he is not concerned about the quantity to produce of each product as that is dictated by the demand. Howard estimates that the fixed demand for applesauce is 5,000 jars, plus an additional 3 jars for every dollar spent on advertising for applesauce. Fixed demand for apple juice is estimated to be 4,000 bottles, plus an additional 5 bottles for every dollar spent on advertising for apple juice. The farm has $16,000 to spend on producing and advertising its two products. Applesauce sells for $2.00 per jar; apple juice sells for $1.25 per bottle. Additionally, making each jar of applesauce and each bottle of apple juice generates 0.1 and 0.2 pounds of compost, respectively, which Howard sells for $5 per pound.
