Quick note from your Quick note from your book!book!

The book asks – “How does the The book asks – “How does the purchaser compare prices of high-yield purchaser compare prices of high-yield coffees with regular coffee products?” coffees with regular coffee products?” Coffee is traditionally brewed at Coffee is traditionally brewed at approximately 50 cups per pound (2.5 approximately 50 cups per pound (2.5 ounces per 8-cup pot brewer). Suppose ounces per 8-cup pot brewer). Suppose that by using a high-yield product, total that by using a high-yield product, total output of brewed coffee is increased output of brewed coffee is increased 25%. Assuming regular coffee at $2.50 25%. Assuming regular coffee at $2.50 per pound and high-yield coffee at per pound and high-yield coffee at $2.70, the cost comparison is as $2.70, the cost comparison is as follows:follows:

Costper lb

Cupsper lb

Costper cup

Regular $2.50 50 $.05 (2.50/50)

High-Yield $2.70 62.5* $.0432 (2.70/62.5)

*50 x 1.25 = 62.5 cups

In this example, better value is achieved by using the high-yield coffee. Of course, this assumes the products are of comparable quality. (but either way it’s a 5 cent cup of coffee!)
