Activity 1.5.3 is about manufacturing rope. The cost to produce the rope does not seem realistic, given the price that rope sells for. (One can look up rope prices online.) The idea of a company's only manufacturing 2000 feet of rope also seems strange. Is that 2000 feet in a day? In an an hour? In a minute? Perhaps one could revise this activity to include more realistic units.
