•You pay $1 plus extra money based on how much butter you sell every 3 months.
•The extra money is 20 cents for every 1,000 pounds of butter you sell over 5,000 pounds.
•You pay this money in the first week of March, June, September, and December.

Example

If you sell 7,000 pounds of butter in 3 months.

You pay $1 for the permit, plus 20 cents for the extra 2,000 pounds (since 7,000 - 5,000 = 2,000). That means you pay $1 + $0.40 = $1.40.
