Neilsen Cookie Company sells its assorted butter cookies in containers that have a net content of 1 lb. The estimated demand for the cookies is 1,000,000 1-lb containers. The setup cost for each production run is $250, and the manufacturing cost is $.20 for each container of cookies. The cost of storing each container of cookies over the year is $.80.
?
Assuming uniformity of demand throughout the year and instantaneous production, how many containers of cookies should Neilsen produce per production run in order to minimize the production cost?
?
Hint: Show that the total production cost is given by the function 
.
?
Then minimize the function ?C on the interval (0, 1,000,000).
?
