At Al Dente, the average meal cost for lunches and dinners are $20 and $40 respectively. Al Dente serves both lunch and dinner 300 days per year and serves twice as many lunches as dinners.

5. In order to increase NOI, the owner of the restaurant is considering adjustments to the quality of food ingredients currently used. Rather than using premium ingredients, use of average quality ingredients would reduce the cost of food by 15%. The owner proposes to not change the current meal pricing. As the consultant, prepare a memo to the owner that presents the pros and cons of this change in operations. What are the potential impacts on revenue, costs, and net operating income may result from this change? The owner does not want to see a decrease in net operating income. Could the owner make this change and absorb a decrease in customers, and how would you demonstrate numerically to support your analysis? What other factors or consequences of this decision should the owner consider besides the financial impact of the change?

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $35 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:

*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).

Required:

1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
