Resumen
Descripción
Costs impose restraints upon all activities.
Certain costs chargeable to a sector of an industry--
as for example, milk assembly and hauling
costs--must be broken down from their total into
the shares chargeable to individual users. When
there is flexibility in this apportionment of
cost shares, part of the burden upon the individual
shipper becomes an industry-apportioned constraint
upon individual firms, in this case
dairymen-shippers. An alternative means of
apportioning hauling costs is suggested, to retain
large shippers in the conventional hauling
system, and to sustain that system for the benefit
of small dairymen.
