CORE-843 P4 – CORE Microlearnings

Let’s practice calculating the CACFP sponsoring organization administrative fee.

Scenario # 3

Scenario #3:

You are a CACFP sponsoring organization that has child care centers and At-risk Afterschool programs.
- $75,000 annual reimbursement for the child care center meals served
- $10,000 annual reimbursement for the at-risk meals served
- $18,000 cash-in-lieu total meals served
- $12,000 actual net allowable administrative cost
Select the correct annual administrative fee from the choices below:*
- $11,250 (Calculation method: 15% of $75,000).
- $19,500 (Calculation method: 15% of $10,000 = $1,500. $1,500 + $18,000 = $19,500).
- $15,450 (Calculation method: $75,000 + $10,000 + $18,000 = $103,000. 15% of $103,000 = $15,450).
- $12,000 (Calculation method: $75,000 + $10,000 = $85,000. 15% of $85,000 = $12,750. Net allowable administrative costs = $12,000. Since $12,000 is the lesser of both components, the allowable administrative fee is $12,000).
