Yearly Cost - Current System Truck Drivers: Total Payroll Costs Teenage Carriers: Total Cost The Vaiiey Voice is a local newspaper that is published Monday through Friday. It sells 98,500 copies daily. The paper is currently in a prot squeeze, and the publisher, Tom Turkey, is looking for ways to reduce expenses. A review of current distribution procedures reveals that the Vaiiey Voice employs 108 truck drivers to drop off bundles of newspapers to 1,340 teenagers who deliver papers to individual homes. The drivers are paid an hourly wage while the teenagers receive 4 cents for each paper they deliver. Turkey is considering an alternative method of distributing the papers, which he says has worked in other cities the size of Flower Mound {where the Valley Voice is published}. Under the new system, the newspaper would retain 22 truck drivers to transport papers to ve distribution centers around the city. The distribution centers are operated by independent contractors who would be responsible for making their own arrangements to deliver papers to subscribers' homes.
