Focused Value Streams, Product Costing Sixty employees (all CPAs) of a local public accounting firm eat lunch at least twice weekly at a very popular pizza restaurant. The pizza restaurant recently began offering discounts for groups of 15 or more. Groups would be seated in a separate room, served individual bowls of salad costing $1.70 each, pitchers of root beer costing $3.00 each (each pitcher has a five-glass capacity), and medium, two-topping pizzas for $12.00 (10 slices each). The food would have to be ordered in advance. Thirty of the CPAs commit to eating four slices of pizza, two glasses of root beer, and one bowl of salad [a consumption pattern of (4,2,1)]. The other 30 are more hearty eaters and commit to eight slices of pizza, four glasses of root beer, and one bowl of salad [a consumption pattern of (8,4,1)).
