Tasty Time Cafeteria operates cafeteria food services in public buildings in the Midwest. Tasty Time is contemplating a major change in its cost structu re. Currently, all of their cafeteria lines are staffed with hourly wage employees who hand serve the food to customers.

However, before making the change, Benson would like to know the consequences of the change, since the volume of business varies signicantly from location to location.
