Bradbo owned two adjoining restaurants, the Pork Palace and the Chicken Hut. Each restaurant was treated as a profit center for performance evaluation purposes. Although the restaurants had separate kitchens, they shared a central baking facility. The principal costs of the baking area included materials, supplies, labor, and depreciation and maintenance on the equipment. Bradbo allocated the monthly costs of the baking facility to the two restaurants based on the number of tables served in each restaurant during the month using dual allocation and equal sharing of fixed costs. In April, the costs were $37,000, of which $19,500 were fixed. The Pork Palace served 4,400 tables, while the Chicken Hut served 3,600 tables. The amount of joint cost that should have been allocated to the Pork Palace in April is calculated to be:

Nursing Care Incorporated, or NCI, operates both a small nursing home and a retirement home. There is a single kitchen used to provide meals to both the nursing home and retirement home, meaning labor costs and utilities costs of the kitchen are shared by the two homes. There is also a centralized cleaning department that provides the cleaning services for both homes as well as the kitchen. The nursing home serves only indigent patients who are on Medicaid.

Mary Jones and Jack Smart have joined forces to start M&J Food Products, a processor of packaged shredded lettuce for institutional use. Jack has years of food processing experience, and Mary has extensive commercial food preparation experience. The process will consist of opening crates of lettuce and then sorting, washing, slicing, preserving, and finally packaging the prepared lettuce. Together, with help from vendors, they think they can adequately estimate demand, fixed costs, revenues, and variable cost per 5-pound bag of lettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed cost of $50,000 and a variable cost of $2.50 per bag. They expect to sell 75,000 bags of lettuce per month. They expect to sell the shredded lettuce for $3.25 per 5-pound bag. Jack and Mary has been contacted by a vendor to consider a more mechanized process. This new process will have monthly fixed cost of $125,000 per month with a variable cost of $1.75 per bag. Based on the above…
