Perform Estimations and Basic calculation

Grade 7 Exploratory

Background Information for Learners/ Panimula (Susing Konsepto)

In farm management, good estimation and accurate calculations are essential. It is necessary to
make daily decisions that prevent farm managers from committing critical consequences. Such as
purchasing capital equipment that occurs infrequently. Others made more often—choosing when to sell
crops or livestock, for example. The choices made today may have an immediate impact on the business,
or they may take much longer to affect. These decisions may involve any facet of the farm business,
including such items as production, personnel, or financing. This lesson requires you to understand how to
perform basic estimations and necessary calculations that will help you become a better farm manager.
