If participation rates increased by 4 percent, costs would rise by $917,296. The other scenario, wherein Annenberg and one house per neighborhood would extend dinner one hour, would increase costs by $958,666 with a participation rate increase of 4 percent. When asked after the meeting about the possibility of shifting the entire meal schedule forward one hour—starting breakfast at 8:30 a.m.—Cross...
