Solution

The value added at each step of the process is the selling price minus the purchase price.

  1. Brian: He sold the apples for 4.Sincehe′sthefarmer,wecanassumehispurchasepricewas4. Since he's the farmer, we can assume his purchase price was 0. So, the value he added is 4−4 - 0 = $4.

  2. Fruit seller: He bought the apples for 4andsoldthemfor4 and sold them for 6. So, the value he added is 6−6 - 4 = $2.

  3. Restaurant owner: He bought the apples (in the form of juice) for 6andsolditfor6 and sold it for 11. So, the value he added is 11−11 - 6 = $5.

So, the value added by Brian, the fruit seller, and the restaurant owner is 4,4, 2, and $5, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is A.4、2、5.
