TABLE XXVI 



SHOWING PAYMENTS FOR MILK BASED ON THE ACTUAL YIELD 

 OF CHEESE 



This table shows the amount of money each patron 

 should receive if the money were divided on the basis of 

 the actual yield of cheese. 



323. Fat basis for payment of milk. Let us suppose 

 that the same five patrons delivered the same quantity of 

 milk testing the same percentages of fat and that the 

 cheese sold for the same price. A total of 20 pounds of 

 fat was delivered and the cheese sold for $10.598 ; by divid- 

 ing this amount by the pounds of fat delivered, the price 

 or value of one pound of fat is found to be $.5299. Multi- 

 plying the pounds of fat each patron delivered by the 

 price a pound would give the amount of money due each 

 patron.
