Part 1

Each year, Johan typically does all his own landscaping and yard work. He spends

$195

per year on mulch for his flower beds,

$232

per year on flowers and plants,

$47

on fertilizer for his lawn, and

$241

on gasoline and lawn mower maintenance. The lawn and garden store where he obtains his mulch and fertilizer charges other customers

$481

for the service of spreading that much mulch in flower beds and

$53

for the service of distributing fertilizer over a yard the size of Johan's. Paying a professional yard care service to mow his lawn would require an expenditure of

$1,159

per year, but in that case Johan would not have to buy gasoline or maintain his own lawn mower.
