Question

The chart below shows a production possibility schedule for a pastry shop that makes $0.50 profit per donut and $0.75 profit per bagel.

A 3-column table has 3 rows. The first column is labeled choice with entries A, B, C. The second column is labeled Quantity of donuts with entries 600, 500, 500. The third column is labeled Quantity of bagels with entries 70, 140, 40.
Choice
yields the largest profit

Answer 1

Choice B.

Calculations:
- A: 600(0.50) + 70(0.75) = 300 + 52.50 = $352.50
- B: 500(0.50) + 140(0.75) = 250 + 105 = $355.00
- C: 500(0.50) + 40(0.75) = 250 + 30 = $280.00

So B yields the largest profit ($355).
