No decimal. Do NOT use comma (“,”) to separate numbers. A beef packing plant in the U.S. typically processes approximately 1000 heads of cattle per day. At today’s carcass price of $2/lb, assuming an average live weight of 1250 lbs., a pencil shrink of 4%, a dressing percentage of 63%, this packing plant will have a daily incoming HCW of [a] lbs. and daily incoming cooler value (total value of HCW) of $[b]. If the packing plant uses a blast chill system, they will lose approximately [c]% of HCW, an equivalence of [d] lbs. or $[e]. However, by investing in a spray chill system, loss of HCW is reduced to [f]%, a saving equivalence of $[g] for this particular packing plant. Assuming that it costs $786240 to install a spray chill system, it only takes this packing plant [h] operating days to break even (cost = saving).
