I have chosen to investigate the commodity chain of bananas from the company Dole and their contributions to spatial justice. This product interests me because I have previously worked in a grocery store and have seen the great rate at which these bananas are sold on a daily basis. I am interested in seeing how the mass consumption of this product affects the different locations attributed to the commodity chain of Dole bananas. I am curious as to what consequences or benefits the countries that house the banana plantations receive as a result of growing bananas, as well as the benefits that Dole receives from sourcing their bananas internationally effects. From what I have read so far, the commodity chain of Dole bananas starts in countries located in Latin America and Caribbean, such as Costa Rica, Columbia, Ecuador, Guatemala and Honduras. For the purposes of this assignment I will be tracing the bananas that are grown and packed at the Bananito Farm located in the community of Bananito, just south of Limon in Costa Rica; a community designed and constructed by Dole for the workers of their largest banana farm in Costa Rica.

When the trucks first arrive at RP1 the employees duty is to grade the berries by sampling a small amount of the berries. The grades the berries are given are from 1 being poorest of color, to 2A, 2B or three being the greatest number, which means that berry or berries are the best. When giving this part of the process a first glance, it can be assumed to be very inaccurate because the person is not sampling all of the berries. There was a premium of 50 cents per bbl paid for

• This cost method does not provide the best system for JDCW’s cost allocation. By using only three overhead rates the present system grossly undermines the true production costs since other activities of the production process are not acknowledged.

The main difference between investing in the Zinser machine and maintaining the status quo is an initial investment of $8.25 million and the receipt of $608,000 in after-tax sales proceeds from selling the existing machine. Additionally, there is an initial $50,000 ($32,000 after-tax) cost for training employees, but this cost is only incurred once (see exhibit 3). In their first year using the Zinser machine there will be a 5% decrease in sales volume, but selling price will increase 10%. Material costs per pound will be the same as the status quo, but conversion costs will decrease to $0.4077 per pound per year due to lower power, maintenance and return costs. Days of inventory held will also drop to about 20 days. All other assumptions are the same as the status quo. In this scenario, the NPV of the Hunter Plant is about $15.87million if Aurora invests in the new Zisner machine (see exhibit 3).
