Selling my carrots

I'm thinking on selling my carrots for about 55 -> 58 cents. I'll go even with myself, $0.57.

Linear Function:

c = # of carrots; p = profit;

p = 0.57c

The 0.57 is the selling price of my carrots, the c is the amount of carrots I sell. The p is the then estimated profit based on the amount of carrots I produce/sell.

Below I have my linear function, graphed.

(y is the vertical line across the left side and x is the horizontal line at the bottom (Me mum told me to include this))

As you can see on the graph after 1 carrot(x) the profit(y) increases by just above half, or to be exact 0.57. (e.g. p = 0.57c | 2.85 = 0.57 * 5)

Gross Profit: In accounting, gross profit or sales profit or gross margin is the difference between revenue and the cost of making a product or providing a service, before deducting overhead, payroll, taxation, and interest payments. Note that this is different from operating profit. Note also that gross margin is the term normally used in the U.S., while gross profit is the more common usage in the UK and Australia.

Total Revenue: Total revenue is the total receipts a seller can obtain from selling goods or services to buyers. It can be written as P × Q, which is the price of the goods multiplied by the quantity of the sold goods.

Gross Profit Margin: The gross profit margin (also known as gross profit rate, or gross profit ratio) is a profitability measure that shows the percentage of gross profit in comparison to sales. In other words, it calculates the ratio of profit left of sales after deducting cost of sales.

My calculations:

Estimated Production Number: 627

Estimated Number of Sales: 533

Estimated Gross Profit: $231.94

Estimated Total Revenue: $303.81

Estimated Gross Profit Margin: 43.5%

March average temperature in Wisconsin: 42°F or 25°C

April average temperature in Wisconsin: 55°F or 35°C

You usually harvest spring planted carrots in the mid-summer, or when you believe they have grown to a good size. But you don't want them growing in too much heat, because then they grow too fibrous. Other than that, carrots are biennial, so if you don't harvest them they will plant their own seeds from the flowers and regrow.

In March the average temperature was 42°F (Wisconsin)

In April the average temperature was 55°F (Wisconsin)

In May the average temperature was 67°F (Wisconsin)

In June the average temperature was 76°F (Wisconsin)

In July the average temperature was 81°F (Wisconsin)

(The normal time to pick spring planted carrots is mid-summer, so I added May, June, and July to the list for the growth season time)
