Question: QUESTION 4 This is a new problem * : Q 2 ) The UTD cafeteria offers scones for $ 1 . 5 each from 8

QUESTION 4
This is a new problem*:
Q2) The UTD cafeteria offers scones for $1.5 each from 8 am to 3-pm. The scones are ordered from their supplier at the start of each day and delivered before the store opens. The supplier charges 75 cents per scone. If at 3 pm, some scones are left unsold, the cafeteria people sell off the remaining scones for 50 cents each. Assume that all leftover scones are always sold by 4pm when the cafeteria closes. If a customer asks for a scone before 3pm but the cafeteria has run out, the customer always buys a bag of chips for $1 instead (after 3 pm, the customer does not buy anything instead). Assume the chips are always in stock and they are purchased from the same supplier for 40 cents each. Demand for scones before 3 pm at the cafeteria is uniformly distributed between 40 and 50
a) Yesterday the cafeteria ordered 45 scones, and 49 customers came wanting to buy a scone between 8 am and 3 pm. What was their profit (including, if any, the profit on chips sold instead of scones)?
