Explanation:
Flour needs to produces organic bread:
In July = 1,500 x 1/2 = 750 pounds
In August = 1,880 x 1/2 = 940 pounds
In September = 1,680 x 1/2 = 840 pounds
In October = 1,560 x 1/2 = 780 pounds
Flour needs on hand at the end of:
July = 940 x 20% = 188 pounds
August = 840 x 20% = 168 pounds
September = 780 x 20% = 156 pounds
Total flour needs:
In July = 750 + 188 = 938 pounds
In August = 940 + 168 = 1,108 pounds
In September = 840 + 156 = 996 pounds
In the third quarter = 3,042 pounds
The bakery pays $2.50 per pound of the organic flour used in its loaves.
In July = 938 pounds x $2.50 = $2,345
In August = 1,108 pounds $2.50 = $2,770
In September = 996 pounds $2.50 = $2,490
In the third quarter = $7,605
