Lemonade Stand by Debbie Ratynets

The goal of the Lemonade game is to make money from your lemonade stand business. You start your business with $20 in the bank; however, you have to use that money to buy supplies to start your business with.

• The amount of supplies needed is based on how much you think you can sell

      o	Lemons rots
      o	Ice melts
      o	Bugs can infest sugar
      o	Buying in bulk is not always cost effective

• How much you can sell depends on price, weather and taste

      o	The warmer the temp the more ice you need
      o	Warmer temp creates a higher demand which allows for a higher selling price
      o	Cooler temp depletes demand which lowers selling price
      o	Selling out quickly hurts profit

• Illustrates net profit and gross profit

      o	You might have a lot in the bank at the end of a day but you need to buy more supplies to stay in business
