PROBLEM 2-10. Accounting for a Job-Order Cost System [LO 3, 6, 7, 9] Bob and Beth Ford
retired from the food services industry and began catering wedding receptions on a limited
basis. The major costs in setting up their business included: linens, $1,200; two complete silver
services, $1,000; glass plates and cups, $1,400; and cake-decorating tools and accessories,
$600. It is expected that all of these items will last 10 years with no salvage value. Bob and
Beth do all their food preparation in their apartment and have found that, in an average
month, their utility bill is $100 higher than when they did not cater. All baking and cooking
supplies are treated as “direct materials,” and the only other cost incurred is liability insurance
at $1,400 per year. All direct materials are purchased at a local grocery for cash, and Bob and
Beth pay themselves an hourly wage of $30 per hour.During the month of June, Bob and Beth
catered five weddings.
