**Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE)** is the largest bottler of Coca-Cola® in Western Europe. The company purchases Coke® and Sprite® concentrate from The Coca-Cola Company (KO), dilutes and mixes the concentrate with carbonated water, and then fills the blended beverage into cans or plastic two-liter bottles.
For the month of May, the estimated production for Coke and Sprite two-liter bottles at the Wakefield, UK, bottling plant is as follows:
- **Coke**: 153,000 two-liter bottles
- **Sprite**: 86,500 two-liter bottles
Additional assumptions include:
- The concentrate costs $75 per pound for both Coke and Sprite.
- Concentration use rates:
- 0.15 pound per 100 liters of carbonated water for Coke
- 0.10 pound per 100 liters of carbonated water for Sprite
- Two liters of carbonated water are used for each two-liter bottle of finished product.
- Cost:
- Two-liter bottles: $0.08 per bottle
