In response to a growing awareness of gluten allergies, Crane Bakery tried using gluten-free flour in its three most popular cookies. After several attempts and a lot of inedible cookies, the company perfected new recipes that yield delicious gluten-free cookies. The costs of producing a batch of 100 cookies are as follows:

		Chocolate Chip				Sugar				Oatmeal Raisin
Sales price			$119				$111				$116
Variable cost			$60				$65				$60
Fixed cost			18				13				21
Total cost			78				78				81
Gross profit			$41				$33				$35
Pounds of flour			2.5				2.5				2
