Transcribed Image Text:Sharp Motor Company has a cafeteria that serves two operating divisions-an Auto Division and a Truck Division. The costs of
operating the cafeteria are budgeted at $81,000 per month plus $0.60 per meal served.
The fixed costs of the cafeteria are determined by peak-period requirements. The Auto Division is responsible for 69% of the peak-
period requirements, and the Truck Division is responsible for the other 31%.
For June, the Auto Division estimated it would need 98,000 meals, and the Truck Division estimated it would need 68,000 meals.
However, due to unexpected layoffs of employees during the month, only 68,000 meals were served to the Auto Division. Another
68,000 meals were served to the Truck Division as planned.
The cafeteria's actual fixed costs for June totaled $84,000 and its actual meal costs totaled $99,600.
