Thornton · Answer 1

The answer is B. $0.18. This is because if you add all the prices of water, sugar, lemons, cups, and the opportunity cost of Wanda’s labor ($0.01 + $0.02 + $0.03 + $0.02 + $0.10) you will get B as your answer. There is no need to include the statistic that Wanda can sell 300 glasses of lemonade for $0.50 each because it is extra information since we are not trying to find out how much she sells each glass of lemonade for. But rather, how much money she uses to make one glass of lemonade.
