Growing cocoa on a farm · The model begins with the cocoa farm. Making chocolate, delivering bars and selling them follow.
Making chocolate in a factory · The factory processes cocoa and other ingredients into chocolate. Growing supplies cocoa, and the shop sells finished bars.
False · The supply chain also includes work before selling, such as growing materials, making chocolate and transporting bars.
6 · There are six boxes. Count each once, without adding activities that this model does not show.
Farm, Factory, Truck, Shop · The model starts at the farm, then shows the factory, delivery truck and shop.
It rises by the amount paid for the extra trip · The extra trip adds an expense. With no other cost changes, total cost rises by that payment.
200 · Add all the listed costs: 150p + 40p + 10p = 200p. This total is cost, not profit or a selling price.
Stage count alone cannot tell the cost · The four-stage route costs less in this example: 60p is less than 90p. Stage count alone does not tell you the cost.
