The Elberta Fruit Farm of Ontario always has hired transient workers to pick its annual cherry crop. Janessa Wright, the farm manager, just received information on a cherry picking machine that is being purchased by many fruit farms. The machine is a motorized device that shakes the cherry tree, causing the cherries to fall onto plastic tarps that funnel the cherries into bins. Ms. Wright has gathered the following information to decide whether a cherry picker would be a profitable investment for the Elberta Fruit Farm:
a. Currently, the farm is paying an average of $40,000 per year to transient workers to pick the cherries.
b. The cherry picker would cost $94,500, and it would have an estimated 12-year useful life. The farm uses straight-line depreciation on all assets and considers salvage value in computing depreciation expense. The estimated salvage value of the cherry picker is $4,500.

Janessa Wright, the farm manager, just received information on a cherry picking machine that is being purchased by many fruit farms. The machine is a motorized device that shakes the cherry tree, causing the cherries to fall onto plastic tarps that funnel the cherries into bins. Ms. Wright has gathered the following information to decide whether a cherry picker would be a profitable investment for the Elberta Fruit Farm:
Currently, the farm is paying an average of $200,000 per year to transient workers to pick the cherries.
The cherry picker would cost $250,000. It would be depreciated using the straight-line method and it would have no salvage value at the end of its 8-year useful life.
Annual out-of-pocket costs associated with the cherry picker would be: cost of an operator and an assistant, $98,000; insurance, $5,000; fuel, $15,000; and a maintenance contract, $20,000.

A special contract had been offered to the company to serve as a special project manager to help the small oil palm farmers to buy their fruit bunch as they were complaining of malpractice by the middlemen that currently purchased the fruit. The proposal is to set a mobile buyers container truck to be stationed near the small farmers area to buy all the fruit bunch from them. This may be seen as a direct rival to the current buyers.
The cost of each set of containers truck and weighting equipment is $200,000 and can be safely used for 5 years. The operating costs of running these containers truck is $50,000 per month. The office and corporate overheads on the project is estimated to be $30,000 per month.
The expected purchased volume is about $30,000 a day with internal profit margin of 8%. The fruit bunch truck will operate 30 days a month. The group proposes to start with 20 trucks as a pilot project.

- Faced with rising pressure for $14 per hour minimum wage rate, the farming industry is currently exploring the possible use of robotics to replace some farm workers. The Lettuce Techis one such robot; its job is to thin out a field of lettuce, removing the least promising buds of lettuce. By removing these weaker plants, the stronger lettuce plants have more room to grow. Assume the following facts: One Lettuce Tech would do the work of 25 farm workers. 2. Each farm worker typically works 45 hours on the lettuce thinning process each year. 3. Each farm worker would earn $14 per hour plus 7.65% payroll tax. 4. The Lettuce Tech is estimated to cost $6,000 plus $900 for delivery. 5. Annual costs of operating the Lettuce Tech are expected to be $1,200. While the Lettuce Tech itself may be in workable condition for up to five years, assume that the farm would view its implementation as a one-year experiment.

After some research and planning, you have estimates for the various operating costs for your business. The total square footage for the sewing rooms is 1,500 square feet broken into three areas (500 square feet each). You have taken out a loan for start-up costs, and the monthly payment is $550; it goes into effect immediately and should be accounted for in your costs.

In addition to selling ice cream cones, you make large batches of a few flavors of milkshakes to sell throughout the day. Your parlor is chosen to test the company’s “Made-for-You” system. This new system enables patrons to customize their milkshakes by choosing different flavors. Customers like the new system and your staff appears to be adapting, but you wonder whether this new made-to-order system is as efficient as the old system in which you just made a few large batches. Efficiency is a special concern because your performance is evaluated in part on the restaurant’s efficient use of materials and labor. Your superiors consider efficiency variances greater than 5% to be unacceptable. You decide to look at your sales for a typical day. You find that the parlor used 390 pounds of ice cream and 72 hours of direct labor to produce and sell 2,000 shakes.

Jack has years of food processing experience, and Mary has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then sorting, washing, slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce. Together, with help from vendors, they think they can adequately estimate demand, fixed costs, revenues, and variable cost per 5-pound bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed cost of $50,000 and a variable cost of $2.50 per bag. They expect to sell 75,000 bags of lettuce per month. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $3.25 per 5-pound bag. Jack and Mary has been contacted by a vendor to consider a more mechanized process.
