a. Financial and non-financial consequences of closing the restaurant department
It is recognized from the statement of overall marginal costing that the overall loss from the business amounted to £ 8000. Further, the lowest contribution was gained from the restaurant division and the amount was -£ 33,000. However, eliminating the restaurant division will convert the loss of £ 8000 to profit of £ 25,000. Therefore, to increase the profit Traditions Limited can discontinue the restaurant division. However, it is seen that the company is not spending any amount for advertising of restaurant and therefore the sales of the restaurant is lowest as among all divisions (Scott 2015). Further, the French cuisines that seem attractive are sold on such price that does not even cover the cost related to that food. Therefore, the cost of those foods can be increased which in turn will increase the profits of restaurant. If the restaurant is closed Traditions Limited will lose the opportunity of increasing the sales forever. Therefore, instead of closing it the company shall take the steps to enhance the sales through advertising and increasing the menu price.
It has been identified that Claude has great association with the restaurant. Further, the prize own by him gave him confidence regarding his career as a chef. If the restaurant is closed chances are there that he will lose his confidence and may not be able to choose any other profession. Further, he may not be willing to work any 3rd party’s restaurant as he feel that it will hamper his creativity (Ajodhia 2014). The reason behind this is that he changes the menus in the restaurant in weekly basis; however, if he works for someone else he may not get that must independency there to take these decisions on his own.
b. Management accountant is engaged in the role of accounting for the functions of internal business and tracks all the internal costs required for decision making. Further, she must be familiar with the system of cost allocation to each of the services or goods produced by Traditions Limited. Further, before taking any final decision regarding closing the restaurant, she shall prepare the cost and profit data as far as possible as there is no proper system of managing the stock (Hilton and Platt 2013). Therefore, it can be expected that there is mismanagement of stock. Further, all the record of the restaurant division is maintained through manual system. Therefore, chances are there that the data are misstated or the data presented are not showing the true cost and profit structure of restaurant division. Therefore, the biggest challenge is that she has to gather the cost from the possible sources and then the cost profit statement has to be prepared. Apart from this, she must find out the reason that led to loss in the financial statement of the company as the main concern for the company at present is the loss in the financial statement after having profits for several years of business (Fullerton, Kennedy and Widener 2013).
