Input cost to cheescake:

$1.50 crust

$1.30/2 milk

$2.40/2 sourcream

$6.00/6 vanilla extract

$1.79 cream cheese

$1.50/3 eggs

Total = $6.65

Not including time 1/2 hour for making the product and 1/4 hour of washing dishes.  (What is the cost per hour of a cheap grad student?)

utility from a successful product:  infinite.

An Eli cheese cake is sold for $12.00

I should still make my own cheesecake.

You should make your crust.

You should make your eggs.

Comment by pinus

Interesting. I have never even thought of whether eggs could be made by human beings. That is an idea.

Comment by Wendy

Start by try to make your own crust. That one is actually feasible. You could even make oreo cookies crust…

Comment by Louis

Making the crust takes labor and takes more inputs that > $1.5 of the ready to go crust.

I did a cost-benefit analysis before I decided that I am not going to make the crust. I simply took too much time and energy and the joy out of making it simply does not exceed the work.

Comment by Wendy

you should just buy a slice of cheesecake when you want to have one. if you make the whole cheesecake, i bet most of it will become rotten in your fridge… and you will have to end up throwing it away. Cost > Benefit

;-)
