In Problem 21, if Easy Time could arrange to purchase more baby food from one of the outlying locations, which should it be, how many additional cases could be purchased, and how much would this increase profit?

Problem 21

The Easy Time Grocery chain operates in major metropolitan areas on the East Coast. The stores have a “no-frills” approach, with low overhead and high volume. They generally buy their stock in volume at low prices. However, in some cases they actually buy stock at stores in other areas and ship it in.
