Salvador grows orchids to sell to local florists. When Salvador began raising his current crop of 1,000 orchids, he could sell them for $20 per plant, and he incurred shipping costs of $3 per plant. His cost of raising orchids is $8 per plant. When his crop was ready to ship, florists were only paying $9 per plant.
