Assessment
Using the data from Table 2 in the handout, compute for the Per Capita
Consumption and Projected Demand of every Filipino of different animal products.
Express your answer in kilograms.
Per Capita Consumption Projected Demand
1
Animal Product (PCC) (PD)2
(consumption of animal product (projected demand of the
per person per year) product in the succeeding year)
Beef 2.41 kg 264,168,486.40 kg
Carabeef
Pork
Chevon
Chicken meat
Chicken egg
Duck egg
Milk
Population (estimate for 2019): 108,310,000
Population growth rate: 1.36%
1PCC = volume of production ÷ population
Annual increase in population = population x population growth rate
2PD = (population + annual increase in population) x PCC
or current population x (1 + population growth rate) x PCC
1 metric ton= 1,000 kg
Note: PD values should be calculated using the unrounded calculated PCC values.
All calculated PCC values should be in kilogram (kg) except PCC for milk
which should be in grams (g); 1 kg = 1000 g
All calculated PD values should be in kg.
All answers in the table should be rounded to two decimal places.
Solve the following.
1. If the current population is 84,254,513 with an annual growth rate of 2.35%,
compute for the projected demand for beef in the coming year if per capita
consumption is 2.52 kg. Express your answer in metric tons. Show your
solution.
2. Given the average dressed weight of slaughtered hogs is 65 kg/hd, how
many persons can be supported of the total volume of pork produced if the
number of hogs slaughtered is 8,433,263 hd and the PCC is 15.67 kg?
Show your solution.
