Fast Food Terminals II Taco Casa is considering installing touch screen terminals for patrons to place their food orders. A terminal can typically accommodate the placement of 15 orders each hour while a human can process 20 orders each hour. If employee costs are 7.50/hour in wages and 4.50/hour in taxes, benefits and insurance, what is the per order opportunity cost of a touch screen?

Answer to Question 1

An employee has a per hour total compensation cost of 12.00 and can process 20 orders for 0.60 per order. But it only takes 4/3 touch screens to replace an employee (=20/15) making the opportunity cost per order 0.80 for the touch screen terminal.
