Model C 



Table 8 shows the number of years needed to accumulate the selected 

 sums of capital. Although higher consumer expenditures were used, this 

 unit has a much more favorable capital accumulation potential than 

 cither of the two previous models. However, it possesses little accumula- 

 tion potential with payments at the lowest level. With payment at 0.75 

 cent per bird per week, $2.00 per square foot is accumulated in 18 to 25 

 years with expenditures kept at the lower levels and occupancy time 

 maximized. Higher expenditures allow an accumulation of $1.50 per 

 square foot in 16 to 25 years. Decreasing occupancy time to 35 weeks a 

 year reduces the accumulation potentials drastically. Fifty cents to $1.00 

 per square foot is accumulated in an 8-to 20-year period, but expendi- 

 tures have to be kept at lower levels. With payments at 1.00 cent per 

 bird per week and occupancy time maximized, $3.00 per square foot is 

 accumulated in a 15-tol9-year period with any of the expenditure altern- 

 atives. House occupancy time of 35 weeks a year provides an accumula- 

 tion potential of between $1.50 and $2.00 per square foot in a 10- to 22- 

 year period for all expenditure levels. Decreasing occupancy time to 26.2 

 week? allows the unit to accumulate between $0.50 and $1.00 per square 

 foot in an 8- to 21-year period for several of the expenditure situations. 



This model, which provides full employment for a family operation, 

 has satisfactory capital accumulation potentials to provide funds for re- 

 placement or for amortization of debt. A unit of approximately this ca- 

 pacity should be adopted by broiler growers to assure a satisfactory 

 standard of living and sufficient capital accumulation. 



Model D 



This potential family operation offers considerable capital accumula- 

 tion opportunities, as shown in Table 9. Fifty cents to $1.00 a square foot 

 is accumulated between 7 and 35 years for all the expenditure levels with 

 occupancy time maximized and payments at the lowest level. Payments 

 at 0.75 cents per bird per week increase the capital accumulation oppor- 

 tunities. With maximum house occupancy and all expenditure levels, 

 $2.00 to $2.50 per square foot is accumulated in a 14-to 21 -year period, 

 and smaller amounts in shorter time periods. Decreasing the occupancy 

 time to 35 weeks a year allows -an accumulation of $1.00 to $1.50 per 

 square foot in a 10-to 21-year period. Further reductions in occupancy all 

 but eliminate capital accumulation. Payments of 1.0 cent per bird per 

 week allow capital accumulation under almost all combinations of occu- 

 pancy time and expenditures. Three dollars a square foot is accumulated 

 in 11 to 13 years at all expenditures levels with occupancy time at a 

 maximum. Between $2.50 and $3.00 a square foot is accumulated in 15-to 

 23-years for all expenditure levels with occupancy time at 35 weeks a 

 year. Decreasing occupancy time to 26.2 weeks allows an accumulation of 

 between $1.00 and $1.50 a square foot for all expenditure levels in 10 to 

 21 years. 



This capacity unit offers more capital accumulation potential than the 

 other models. There is little doubt that it is a capacity that will be 

 adopted once it becomes technically feasible as a family operation.
