Cumberland County Senior Services is a non-profit organization devoted to providing essential services to seniors who live in their own homes within the Cumberland County area. Three services are provided for seniors-home nursing, Meals on Wheels, and housekeeping. In the home nursing program, nurses visit seniors on a regular basis to check on their general health and to perform tests ordered by their physicians. The Meals on Wheels program delivers a hot meal once a day to each senior enrolled in the program. The housekeeping service provides weekly housecleaning and maintenance services, Data on revenue and expenses for the past year follow; Home Meals on House- Total Nursing Wheels keeping Revenues $1, 035,600 $299, 800 $460,080 $276, 090 Variable expenses 575,500 141, 060 247, 580 187, 090 Contribution margin 459, 508 158, 090 212,560 89, 090 Fixed expenses: Depreciation 73,708 9,200 42,250 22, 250 Liability insurance 47,550 22,250 8, 508 16, 808 Program administrators' salaries 124,750 43,750 40,250 48, 750 General administrative overhead. 207,600 59, BOB 92, 080 55,208 Total fixed expenses 453,009 135, BBB 183, 090 135, 080 Operating income (loss) $ 6,500 $ 23,080 $ 29,508 5 (46, 080) "Allocated on the basis of program revenues.
