The Fruit Company (F Co) currently grows fruit which customers pick themselves from the fields before paying. F Co is concerned that a large number of customers are eating some of the fruit whilst picking it and are therefore not paying for all of it. As a result, it has to decide whether to hire staff to pick and package the fruit instead.
– The total sales value of the fruit currently picked and paid for by customers.
-The total sales value of the fruit if it is picked and packaged by staff instead.
1. Could you explain how these two statements are relevant costs?
If customers no longer pick their own then the company doesn’t get that income so it is an opportunity cost.
Instead they get income from fruit that their own staff pick.
