From a standard batch of 23,000 pounds of raw chicken that costs $15, 600, the company produces two parts: 4,000 pounds of drumsticks and 6,000 pounds of breast for a processing cost of $ 3,384. The chicken breast is further processed into 5,200 pounds of steak for a processing cost of $3,200. The market price of drumsticks per pound is $1.75 and the market price per pound of chicken steak is $5.20.
