One of the signature products of the restaurant is its gourmet cakes, which is specially made in the restaurant's kitchen. The restaurant can make a maximum of 12,000 cakes per year. The company, however, is currently operating at 95% capacity. Each cake sells for $100. The variable costs based on the current 95% capacity are as follows: Direct materials Direct labour Variable overhead $ 456,000 $ 57,000 $ 171,000 $ 684,000 The fixed costs per year consist of the following: Fixed overhead Administration $ 130,000 $ 510,000 $ 640,000 Consider the following independent scenarios: Scenario A Grand Emporium Ltd has approached Parisian Restaurant Ltd to purchase 2,000 cakes for its promotional activities.

The cheapest packing machine that can package the cakes to meet the requirement of Grand Emporium Ltd costs $12,000. Apart from the special order, there is no further use of this machine. Scenario B Assembly Square Bakery has approached Parisian Restaurant Ltd to produce all cakes currently produced for the entire year for $102 per cake.
