Kristen’s Cookie Company
You and your roommate are preparing to start Kristen’s Cookie Company in your on‐campus apartment. The company will provide fresh cookies to starving students late at night.

Buyer will telephone in their orders and specify which of these ingredients they want in their cookies. You gurantee completely fresh cookies. In short, you will have the freshest, most exotic cookies anywhere, available right on campus. The production process
Baking cookies is simple: mix all the ingredients in a food processor; spoon out the cookie dough onto a tray; put the cookies into the oven; bake them; take the tray of cookies out of the oven and carefully pack them in a box. You and your roommate already own all the necessary capital equipment: one food processor, cookie trays, and spoons. Your apartment has a small oven that will hold one tray at a time. Your
