Prepare | In this assignment you will develop a plan to expand the scale of your operation to include a second site, roughly equal in size (two acres) to your original site.
Research | In this lab you will examine some of the issues related to “scaling up."  You will be given a set of assumptions, costs and revenue and scale up an urban agriculture operation.
Analyze
Answer the following questions when completing the lab worksheet. You will compare the results of your scaled up operation to the profit margin of the original and describe the results and any differences that might occur.
- Does site number two provide the same profit as site number one?  If not explain why.  Be detailed in your answer.  Indicate which line items are causing any discrepancies between the two sites and if you think there is anything that can be done to reduce the discrepancies.
- Do you think there would be any difference in the profits if the two sites were at the same place rather than being separated by one mile?  Why or why not?
