Talk:The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000/@comment-27578467-20170404070709

I also want to point out that the cider deal would actually turn out in the Apples' favor. Assuming (based off the information from the transcript and animation) that production was the only bottleneck of the operation, and that both apple supply and cider demand were basically infinite during "cider season", they would make a good deal more even if they only got 25%.

According to the transcript, the cider machine's standard operation makes three barrels to every one that the Apple family makes normally. Let's say that each day the Apples make 100 bits from cider sales; tripling that amount would make 300 bits, and 25% of that would be 75 bits. However, since the machine works automatically (or rather, since the magic to power it is included for free) the Apples would be free to continue their own cider operation, producing an extra 100 bits not included in the 75-25 deal. Therefore, taking that deal would increase their profits by 75%, from 100 to 175.

I mean, yeah there are other potential considerations, but as far as what's given in the episode frankly I think Applejack missed a golden opportunity.
