Blue Apron IPO Leaves a Bad Taste
Founded in 2012, Blue Apron is one of the top meal-kit delivery services doing business in the United States. Started by three co-founders—Matt Salzberg, Matt Wadiak, and Ilia Pappas—Blue Apron provides pre-portioned ingredients (and recipes) for a meal, delivered to consumers’ front doors.
According to recent research, the U.S. meal-kit delivery industry is an $800 million business with the potential to scale up quickly, as more and more consumers struggle to find time to go grocery shopping, make meals, and spend time with family and friends in their hectic daily lives.
As word spread among foodies about the quality and innovative meals put together by Blue Apron, the company’s popularity took off, supported by millions in start-up funding. Costs to scale the business have not been cheap—estimates suggest that Blue Apron’s marketing costs have been high.
Despite the challenges, by early 2017 the company was selling more than 8 million meal kits a…

- 9. New Madrid Chocolate Corporation manufactures bulk chocolate that it sells to Venus Candy Company. Currently, New Madrid packages and ships their bulk chocolate in 50-pound bars that are then shipped by truck to Venus. Venus then unpacks the bars, disposes of the packaging, melts the bars, and works the chocolate into smaller retail products. An astute and environmental conscientious employee observes that New Madrid could make the chocolate keep it hot or warm and ship it in heated tankers to Venus. This would save cooling and reheating energy cost, packaging cost and time associated with these activities. Assume the following cost: • Cooling cost and time for New Madrid $10,000 • Packaging cost for New Madrid $20,000 Annual transportation cost by truck $50,000 paid by New Madrid Annual transportation cost by train $40,000 paid by New Madrid Unpackaging and disposal cost of packaging for Venus $10,000 • Reheating cost and time for Venus $30,000 How much will New Madrid gain if they…arrow_forwardK Dairymaid processes organic milk into plain yogurt. Dairymaid sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $870, yields 585 gallons of plain yogurt. The company sells the one-gallon tubs for $5.00 each and spends $0.14 for each plastic tub. Dairymaid has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. Management wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores.

Dairymaid would sell each individual portion for $0.46. Packaging would cost $0.08 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.12 per portion. Fixed costs would not change.
