CoursHeroTranscribedText: Problem 2 Kare Foods Company specializes in the production of frozen dinners. The first of the two operating departments cooks the food. The second is responsible for packaging and freezing the dinners. The dinners are sold by the case, each case containing 25 dinners. Two support departments provide support for Kare's operating units: Maintenance and Power. Budgeted data for the coming quarter are given below. The company does not separate fixed and variable costs.

The prime costs for one case of standard dinner total P16. It takes two machine hours to produce a case of dinners in the Cooking Department and 0.5 direct labor hour to process a case of standard dinners in the Packaging and Freezing Department. Recently, the Air Force has requested a bid on a three-year contract that will supply standard frozen dinners to Minuteman missile officers and staff on duty in the field. The locations of the missile sites were remote, and the Air Force had decided that frozen dinners were the most economical means of supplying food to personnel on duty. The bidding policy of Kare Foods is full manufacturing costs plus 20%. 1. Determine Kare's Bid Price using direct, step and algebraic methods
