Tb87: Delivery Costs Per Package On Wholesale Milk Routes: A Comparison Of Two Methods Of Cost Allocation, Nicholas E. Flanders, Homer B. Metzger

Technical Bulletins

This study of milk delivery operations was undertaken to develop labor relatives for different packages and to compare unit costs of delivery computed by using these relatives. A principal issue was whether variable direct labor was a better measure than total direct labor for allocating costs to various packages. Delivery operations on milk routes were timed to determine the amount of labor used in performing various functions in serving wholesale customers. This route information and the financial information on dealer delivery operations comprised the data base for the analyses.

B738: Costs And Returns In Lowbush Blueberry Production In Maine, 1974 Crop, Homer B. Metzger, Amr A. Ismail

Bulletins

Blueberry production is primarily a part time enterprise with a wide variation in acreages per grower and a modest investment per acre.

Blueberry growers recovered cash costs and most of the variable costs of producing and harvesting the 1974 crop. For a competitive return on investment and a modest wage, the average grower would have had to receive 35 cents rather than 20 cents per pound, considering the yields obtained in 1974. To be reasonably assured of adequate returns, a grower should achieve yields of over 1,000 pounds per acre.
