QUESTION 5 (30 marks) Lisa has just completed her Diploma in Bakery and Confectionery at a local TAFE. Since then she has been working at a local bakery chain as a trainee pastry chef. Lisa has now completed the apprenticeship and is looking to make a new start on her own. She has recently secured a lease of house in a hillside suburb of Cairns. She was attracted to the house as it featured a small commercial kitchen containing a wood-fired oven & shopfront area. As the house is zoned semi-commercial, Lisa has found that she can obtain a licence to bake 380 loaves per day. The shopfront is just large enough to display 15 loaf shelves shelf. Lisa has learned at TAFE and came to know about an Ancient Grains Recipe. This recipe was used by the royal cook in Ancient Egypt to bake delicious bread only from flour. Also, during her time as a trainee pastry chef she has gained in-depth knowledge about flour. Because the ancient recipe only produces bread with flour as its only ingredient, it is very healthy and additive free. Lisa has read from a reliable market research report and that demand for healthy, additive free pastry is very promising. She would like to capitalise her special knowledge and brand it for this niche market. She plans to create three types of specialty breads, Sourdough, Kamut, and Rye. Table below is her estimate sale price, cost and demand of each bread type. Bread Type Sourdough Kamut Rye Estimated sale price $4.50 $4.0 $4.5 Variable costs: Flour $0.95 $0.85 $0.95 Other costs $0.30 $0.30 $0.65 Labour $1.00 $0.25 $0.50 Minimum quantity 100 100 50 Maximum quantity 300 300 150
