Answer:

C.  $1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Costs per taco:

[tex]\begin{tabular}{| l | r |}\cline{1-2} \bf Expenditure & \bf Amount \\\cline{1-2} Ingredients & \$0.50 \\\cline{1-2} Labor & \$0.50 \\\cline{1-2} Rent/Utilities/advertising & \$0.25 \\\cline{1-2} Salary & \$0.25 \\\cline{1-2} \bf TOTAL & \bf \$1.50 \\\cline{1-2}\end{tabular}[/tex]

Profit per taco:

Profit = Selling price - expenditure

         = $2.50 - $1.50

         = $1.00

Therefore, $1.00 of profit is generated per taco sold.
