Cost of installation of two dryers is 50000 $.

When we calculate the wage cost according to the table above, the net cost comes about 2428
$ per day and if we divide procedure in two shift total comes to 1833 $

But when similar calculations is done by buying a single dryer, cost comes to be 2592 $ and for
two shifts 1914 $. Hence, accordingly installation of a single dryer is advisable as

 Difference in per day wage is less when compared to cost of another dryer
 Added dryer would only be utilized during peak season and not rest of the time
 Also, there would be depreciation on same (limited life of the equipment)
Bottleneck between PLANT & FREEZERS
When we add one dryer to the current setting:

 Processing Rate – Wet Berries : 800 bbls/hr

 Processing Rate – Dry Berries : 400 bbls/hr

Processing rate of bagging and freezing:

 For Wet berries: 2800 bbls/hr
 For Dry berries: 667 bbls/hr

The above figures indicate that there won’t be a bottleneck between freezer and plant, even with
the installation of an additional dryer.
