Question
The Farm House restaurant makes their own bread to serve in their restaurant. They have been approached by a local bakery offering to make the bread for them. The restaurant has two choices:

1) continue making the bread in-house, or 2) buy it from the local bakery.

The Farm House head chef estimated the variable cost of making each loaf of bread to include the following:

Sales prices and variable costs are as follows: $0.69 of ingredients, $0.25 of variable overhead, and direct labor costs to knead and form the loaves of $0.70. Allocating fixed overhead is based on direct labor. The Farm House assigns a fixed overhead cost of $1.07 per loaf. None of the fixed costs are avoidable. The local bakery would charge $1.75 per loaf.
