The object of the study is to find possibilities of lowering costs and improving operating practices in order that prices paid to farmers for grain might be as high as possible and elevator margins adequate for maintaining the business. Expenses; net income and economic profit, all in terms of per dollar sales or per bushel handled, are used as measures of operating effectiveness by which to analyze variations in elevator business units.
