Essay topics:

Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become
more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day
service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And
since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its 25th birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to
minimize costs and thus maximize profits

The argument is stating that over time, the costs of processing for an organization goes down as its efficiency increases. Argument is based upon sole example of color film processing industry, where costs of processing decreased with time. It is stated that Olympic Foods will be able soon minimize its costs and hence, maximize its profits.

There are various factors that decides the overall costs of processing, argument should take into consideration all the factors before coming to a strong conclusion and predicting whether the costs of processing will go down with time or whether cost will remain same or increase. According to the argument, in case of color fill processing there was huge decrease in total processing costs for 3-by-5 print from 1970 to 1984. Which seems to be a sound premise to come to conclusion that profits for Olympic foods could be increased. But, innovation could have resulted in reducing overall processing costs and not the experience gained during this time. In 1970, may be 90% of the total processing cost was because of labor charges and now in 1984 new technology resulted in reduced labor requirement, hence, reducing the total costs of processing. If this is the factor, then same innovation can't help Olympic food reduce its cost and thus maximize profits. There may be other factors causing reduced total processing cost, like: new technology may have reduce total wastage during the film processing, hence reduced total processing cost. Same factor can not lead to reduced cost for Olympic foods. By 25th birthday, cost of labor is increased by tremendous amount for Olympic food and also other cost like that of machinery required for processing is increased, raw material cost is increased, electricity charges are also increased. All these factors should also be taken into account when calculating overall profits, profits is not not solely dependent upon processing cost, it depends upon lot of other factors as stated above. All these factors will lead to increase in reduced profits if selling price is not increased by 25th birthday.

There may be other factors that effects to overall profits like increase in market competition, which will force Olympic Food to reduce its selling price, affecting its overall profits, hence make this argument completely illogical. Olympic food could be able to reduce its total costs of processing but market competition and some exigency can affect its overall profit. By 25th birthday, Olympic food may run some promotion campaign in-order to attract more customers or to retain existing customers, affecting its bottom line and its profits. Therefore, multitude of factors ranging from increase in labor cost, electricity charges, cost of raw material, shop rent etc. can affect total profits of Olympic foods. Hence, it can be concluded based upon the analysis and various reasons stated above that reduction in processing cost does not guarantee increased profits.
