Make or Buy
A restaurant bakes its own bread for a cost of $168 per unit (100 loaves), including fixed costs of $36 per unit. A proposal is offered to purchase bread from an outside source for $98 per unit, plus $9 per unit for delivery.
Prepare a differential analysis dated July 7 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the bread, assuming that fixed costs are unaffected by the decision. If an amount is zero, enter "0". For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

- Variable costs, fixed costs, total costs. Bridget Ashton is getting ready to open a small restaurant. She is on a tight budget and must choose between the following long-distance phone plans: Plan A: Pay 10 cents per minute of long-distance calling. Plan B: Pay a fixed monthly fee of $15 for up to 240 long-distance minutes and 8 cents per minute thereafter (if she uses fewer than 240 minutes in any month, she still pays $15 for the month). Plan C: Pay a fixed monthly fee of $22 for up to 510 long-distance minutes and 5 cents per minute thereafter (if she uses fewer than 510 minutes, she still pays $22 for the month). Draw a graph of the total monthly costs of the three plans for different levels of monthly long-distance calling.

Thank you! Chow Foods operates a cafeteria for its employees. The operations of the cafeteria requires fixed costs ofP470,000 per month and variable costs of 40% of sales. Cafeteria sales are currently averaging P1,200,000 permonth. The company has the opportunity to replace the cafeteria with vending machines. Gross customerspending at the vending machines is estimated to be 40% greater than the current sale because the vendingmachines are available at all hours. By replacing the cafeteria with vending machines, the company wouldreceive 16% of the gross customer spending and avoid cafeteria costs.
