Accounting

Suppose Italian Eatery restaurant is considering whether to (1) bake bread for its restaurant in-house or (2) buy the bread from a local bakery. The chef estimates that variable costs of making each loaf include $0.46 of ingredients, $0.23 of variable overhead (electricity to run the oven), and $0.75 of direct labor for kneading and forming the loaves. Allocating fixed overhead (depreciation on the kitchen equipment and building) based on direct labor, Italian Eatery assigns $0.95 of fixed overhead per loaf. None of the fixed costs are avoidable. The local bakery would charge $1.82 per loaf.
Requirements 1. What is the unit cost of making the bread in-house?
