Zoe can rent space for her gelato stand for $275.50 per month for the year, or for
$575.25/month for only the four summer months. She is debating whether she should
run the business all year, or only during the summer months. She knows that after all
other expenses, not considering rent, she makes a profit $700.00/month for each of the
summer months, but only $150.00 for each of the rest of the months. She is paying
herself a wage in her expenses.

c) What would you recommend Zoe do: operate the stand all year, or only during the
summer? Explain your reasoning.
