The head administrator of Jackson County Senior Services, Judith Miyama, considers last year's net operating income of $43,000 to
be unsatisfactory; therefore, she is considering the possibility of discontinuing the housekeeping program.
The depreciation in housekeeping is for a small van that is used to carry the housekeepers and their equipment from job to job. If the
program were discontinued, the van would be donated to a charitable organization. None of the general administrative overhead
would be avoided if the housekeeping program were dropped, but the liability insurance and the salary of the program administrator
would be avoided.
