Case report: Kristen's Cookie Company
Question 1

Total= 26 minutes (6+2+1+1+2+5+9)
Question 2
The time we need for the first dozen of cookies is 26 minutes (see question 1). But the next orders only take 10 minutes. We can explain that by the fact that first we are obliged to do the whole operation. Then the mixing(6min) and the dishing(2min) can be done will an other dozen is baking
(10 minutes). In the same reasoning cooking, baking and paying can be done when another dozen of cookies is backing. So, for 4 hours (=240 minutes), we can write the following equation:
240 = 26 + 10*(x-1) where we can find x = 22,4 minutes as solution. That means that in 4 hours, it's possible to make 22,4 dozen of cookies. In other words, we can make 22 full orders in 4 hours.
Question 3
The work I do is described in the picture of question 1 by the green part which represent 8 minutes
(6 minutes for the mixing + 2 minutes for the dishing).
The red part is my roommate’s work which represent 4 minutes (1 minute to prepare the oven + 2 minutes for the packing + 1 minute to accept the payment)
Question 4
To answer this question, we have to focus on valuable time. Moreover we see that the washing and the mixing take me the same time for one, two or three dozen of cookies. If we look at the table below, we can see that one dozen of cookies needs 12 minutes of human work, two dozen need 17 minutes and 3 dozen need 22 minutes.
To conclude, we can say that if we cook only one dozen of cookies, it will take 12 minutes of human work.
If we cook 2 dozen, it will take 8,5 minutes by dozen of human work (17 divided by 2). In this case we win 3,5 minutes by dozen.
If we cook 3 dozen, it will take 7,33 minutes by dozen of human work (22 divided by 3). In this case we win 4,67 minutes by dozen.

We can imagine that human work cost 30 euro/hour, so 0,5 euro/minute. For 2 dozen, we can make a maximum discount of 3,5 * 0,5= 1,75 euro. For 3 dozen,

    The main goal of the Cookies unit was to solve the Unit Problem. The unit problem introduced us to the Woos, the owners of a cookie bakery. The Woos want to find the most profitable combination of plain and iced cookies to bake and sell in their store. We were given several constraints for this problem. According to the Woo’s recipes, a dozen normal cookies requires one pound of cookie dough, and a dozen iced cookies requires .7 pounds of cookie dough. The Woo family only has 110 pounds of cookie dough in stock, which will affect the number of cookies that can be made. The iced cookies also need icing, obviously. A dozen of iced cookies required .4 pounds of icing and the Woos only have 32 pounds of icing in stock. There are also limitations for the oven space in the Woo’s kitchen. It can only hold 140 cookies at a time. The last limitation that the Woo family’s problem has is time. The preparation time of the plain cookies is .1 hours, and the preparation time of the iced cookies is .15 hours. The Woo family only has 15 hours to prepare the iced and plain cookies for the oven. All of these constraints decide the number of cookies that you can and cannot have. The second half of the problem was concerning the combination of normal cookies and iced cookies that would give the most profitable result. A dozen of plain cookies cost $4.50 to make and sell for $6.00 and a dozen of iced cookies cost $5.00 to make, and sell for 7.00. So, they make a profit of $1.50 per dozen of plain cookies and $2.00 per dozen of iced cookies. The Woo family knows that they can sell all the cookies they make. The point of this problem was to find the most profitable combination of iced and normal cookies.…
