You will also need to use the 'Corn Enterprise Budget, Cotton Enterprise Budget, Soybean Enterprise Budget, and Wheat Enterprise Budget\" PDF documents under the Chapter 12 portal as well. In MS Excel. please complete the following assignment. The price per unit and production (yield per acre) data for corn, soybeans, cotton, and wheat were obtained from USDA NASS. The data is presented for the 2014 to 2023 period. For Part1 of this project, please determine a high, medium, and a lowprice scenario for each crop. Next, delermine a high, medium, and lowiyield scenario {or each crop. What criteria (i.e., metric) did you use to arrive at your values? Please include your calculations that you used. Next create a spreadsheet template that resembles thew following. Measure Carri Carton Soybeans Wheat Estimated Prloe perunlt Estiamted Yleid peracre Gross Revenue peracre You will need to enter your price and yield projections (for each high, medium, and low scenario) so that you can calculate gross revenue per acre. It you prefer, you can create a high worksheet, a medium worksheet, and a low scenario worksheet in your MS Excel file. For Part II, refer to the specific budget tables in each of the LSU AgCenter enterprise budgets to summarize the variable production costs ($ per acre) for chemicals, Nitrogen Fertilizer, Phosphate Fertilizer, Potash (or K) Fertilizer, Labor, Diesel Fuel, Repair, and Miscellaneous (other) expenses. Note that the Misc. category will be all other remaining cost categories relative to the crop's cost structure. . Corn - Table 8A. on page 26. Soybeans - Table 8A. on page 25. . . Cotton - Table 4A. on page 13. Wheat - Table 1A. on page 4. AGEC 3303 Fall 2023 It is acceptable to use the total fixed costs per acre from the LSU AgCenter budgets in your analysis. No additional calculations are required. Therefore, you will be required to add the following information to the templates that you created in Part I.For Part III, calculate the net returns above variable costs (NRAVC), ROI, BE price, and BE yield. Next, consider the total fixed costs to calculate the net returns above total specified costs, and ROI. Remember, this will be done for your high price/high yield scenario, medium price/medium yield scenario, and finally for your low price/low yield scenario. Measure Corn Cotton Soybeans Wheat Total Direct Costs per acre Total Fixed Costs per acre Net Returns Above Variable Costs per acre Breakeven Analysis - BE Price Breakeven Analysis - BE Yield ROI (Variable Cost Only) Net Returns Above Total Costs per acre 2For Part IV, create sensitivity tables for each crop in each worksheet. You will perform this exercise in Part IV for the high price/high yield scenario, medium price/medium yield scenario, and finally for your low price/low yield scenario. Use the following ranges from your base price: Corn +/- $0.20 per bushel in $0.05 increments, for Cotton +/- $0.08 in $0.02 increments, for Soybeans +/- $0.20 per bushel in $0.05 increments, and for Wheat +/- $0.20 per bushel in $0.05 increments. For the yield ranges, use +/- 8 bushel per acre in 2-bushel increments for Corn, Soybeans, and Wheat. For cotton, use +/- 200 pounds per acre in 50-pound increments. For Part V, assume that the farm intends to plant 500 acres of corn, 500 acres of soybeans, 500 acres of cotton, and 100 acres of wheat. Calculate the total income from each crop on the farm (e.g., total gross revenue from all 500 acres of corn production, etc.). Next calculate the total variable expenses per crop. Finally, calculate the NRAVC per crop. Again, like other parts of this project, this will be duplicated over each high, medium, and low scenario worksheet.
