Cookies Project (A)

Cookies Project (A)

Sisters Mrs. Smith & Mrs. Fields own a small bakery that specializes in cookies. They make only two kinds of cookies-plain and iced. They need to decide how many dozens of each kind of cookie to make for tomorrow.

The sisters know that each dozen of their plain cookies requires 1 pound of cookie dough (and no icing), and each dozen of their iced cookies requires 0.7 pounds of cookie dough and 0.4 pounds of icing. The sisters also know that each dozen of plain cookies requires about 0.1 hours of preparation time, and each dozen of the iced cookies requires about 0.15 hours of preparation time. Finally, they know that no matter how many of each kind they make, they will be able to sell them all.

The sister’s decision is limited by three factors.

The ingredients they have on hand – they have 220 pounds of cookie dough and 64 pounds of icing
The amount of oven space available- they have room to bake a total of 280 dozen cookies for tomorrow.
The amount of preparation time available- together they have 30 hours for cookie preparation

The sisters want to make as much profit as possible. The plain cookies sell for $6.00 a dozen and cost $4.50 a dozen to make. The iced cookies sell for $7.00 a dozen and cost $5.00 a dozen to make.

Each day you will have a daily progress check worth 10 points. You will lose points for being off task and for not working as a team.
