Table 19. Comparative Costs of Depreciation on Bagged and Bulk Deiivery Trucks 



''- 280 working clays p-r year. 



and 6. .55 miles per gallon for the bulk truck. A small additional amount was 

 included under "other variable costs" for greater maintenance costs on the 

 bulk equipment. Driver's time was included at $1.50 per hour. 



Under Hypothesis 2, "gas and oil" and "oi^her variable costs" were pro- 

 jected from Hypothesis 1 on the basis of the increased mileage; driver 

 cost on the basis of the increased time. 



The time calculations used were as follows: 



Bagged truck: 



Route miles, 40, 9 



Rt = 1[95 + 1(.5) -f 1(1.0) + 100(.39)] + 1 [.025(0)]

135.5 min. 



Rt = 1 [27.5 + 1 (.5) + 1 (1.0) + 30 (.39)] + 1 [.025(0)] 

 Rt = 41.0 min.
