You have been invited to participate in an accounting competition. Your team will be making a presentation to Michelle and Vishayla who are sister's-in-law who have recently opened a catering company specializing in pies and cakes. They realized their love of baking after they married brothers, Josh and Cristian. For a few years they created pies and cakes for family and friends. The demand for their pies and cakes had grown to the point where they could no longer use their kitchens as their "bakery." They rented a store front on the Boulevard in Colonial Heights that used to be a diner. It had a kitchen that was converted into a bakery with large ovens, mixing bins, and prep/decorating area. The owner made all the conversions for the bakery. They currently sell to individuals, area local stores, and event centers for parties/weddings. To get their growing business off the ground they hired a supervisor and two wage employees who work as orders are received. The rest of their payroll includes a financial accountant and one office staff who prepare invoices and does other office duties. They have also hired a sales person who is paid based on the number of cakes sold. Of the store front they have rented, 80% is used as the bakery and 20% is used as office space. Your assignment is two-fold: 1. They have asked you to prepare managerial accounting data of their current operation. They know the amount of ingredients in each cake but do not know how much labor to add to the cost and the amount of overhead to allocate to each cake. The accountant they have hired is good at preparing financial statements they need to give to the bank and prepare taxes and payroll but is not a managerial accountant and is not able to help. They need to know the cost per cake in order to be able to calculate their cost of goods sold. A list of the calculations they would like for you to prepare for them, as well as, information concerning next period's operations is on the following page. 2. Michelle and Vishayla are thinking of expanding their operations. They want to build a new bakery that will allow them to expand their operation. The new building will allow them to add more ovens, larger prep and decoration stations, and be able to open a retail store in the front of the building. A piece of land is available close to Fort Lee which will give them greater access to military and civilian personnel. They want you to determine the feasibility of this new venture. The needed calculations and relevant data are on the following pages.
