The head administratorof Jackson County Senior Services, Judith Miyama, considers lastyear’s net operating income of $49,700 to be unsatisfactory;therefore, she is considering the possibility of discontinuing thehousekeeping program. The depreciation in housekeeping is for asmall van that is used to carry the housekeepers and theirequipment from job to job. If the program were discontinued, thevan would be donated to a charitable organization. None of thegeneral administrative overhead would be avoided if thehousekeeping program were dropped, but the liability insurance andthe salary of the program administrator would be avoided.
